The piece I envisioned is part of a new approach/technique applied to the use of Wood Clothespins. I would like to wrap 1 to 3 tree trunks and some branches with a perfectly fit sheet of clothespins. In no way the tree is harmed, for the material holds itself by molding its shape to that of the tree.

The order and pattern in which they are arranged, determines the shape and curves that lead to the end result. The meaning and intentions of the piece will be let up to the viewer to determine. Definitely, the environmental message is obvious, as well as the natural sculptural effect and intriguing use of this very common artifact.
