During summer months, the barren tree stands in stark contrast to its surroundings, and in winter the sculpture’s form echoes the leafless trees of the forest. Yield is from Roxy Paine’s Dendroid series: works that draw connections between nature and machines through the process of creating branch-like forms with welded and polished stainless steel.
La superficie pulida de Ceder refleja y contrasta con el espacio que la rodea, que varía con las estaciones, el tiempo y la hora del día. Durante los meses de verano, el árbol sin hojas se yergue en un crudo contraste con su entorno; en invierno, la forma de la escultura replica la de los árboles sin hojas del bosque. Ceder forma parte de la serie Dendroide de Roxy Paine: un conjunto de obras que establecen conexiones entre la naturaleza y las máquinas por medio del proceso de creación de formas semejantes a ramas con acero inoxidable soldado y pulido.
