Sequoia – colour …. texture …. wearable?

(re-post)

(I wonder if that tree is still there.  When I am in the area again I hope I remember to check and see!)

IMG_5684Outside the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria is this permanent, growing,  ever-changing, exquisite work of art:  sequoia tree.

IMG_5679The sun climbing the trunk early on a summer morning inspires walking closer and staring upward.

IMG_5680You almost expect it to stretch into the touch if you put your hand on the bark.

IMG_5675What kept me stopped and gazing was the bronze and the green and the  soft and the crisp and the depth of the texture of the base.

IMG_5676Could I translate that into something I could wear?

The challenge stayed with me as I finally strolled on.

  1. We have sequoia pinecones from the government building in Victoria. Happy holidays.
