Description

JADE CASCADE #1 - Wire Tree Sculpture,
by Sal Villano

17"x 11"x 18". Wire tree sculpture with 218 genuine Jade leaves of various sizes. Some of the jade leaves are flat and others have a slight upward turn at the tip. Each leaf is individually wired onto its branch using a unique method developed by Sal Villano expressly for this type of sculpture. There are no holes in any of the leaves so they appear very natural in their position on the end of each twig. The tree is created using 18, 24 and 26 gauge gold color wire. The roots of the tree are bound into a sand and pebble mound that is painted in greens and yellows using India ink to create the image of moss. The sculpture is in a 7" round metallic ceramic bowl and is permanently fixed to the dark wood 5 legged elevation base. This sculpture can be displayed in direct sunlight since all the coloring and material used are light fast, and will not fade.
#8-07 $ 1,985.
