Not Exactly Public Art Along I-70

 

           

   The Denver metro area has become such an art-hipster wasteland wonderland that I've been seriously wrestling with the idea of digging up this entire tree trunk currently playing host to the remains of a chain-link fence that the now-dead tree was growing through and mounting it to a base, then entering it in one of the many juried exhibitions hereabouts (maybe the state fair?).

   Seriously, it makes a rather poignant statement about nature not respecting the boundaries established by man, no? 

   That right there could be the title of the piece!

   I wonder how much chroming a tree trunk that is entangled in a chain-link fence section would cost?
