Anthony Gembeck
Saint Helens, Oregon
Take Care
bronze, granite, steel, and flint sculpture, 48x17x7
Anthony's sculpture combines a number of elements to tell a
story of environmental caution. The piece consists of a cast bronze
sculpture of a ragged tree and a chainsaw, mounted on top of a rough granite
column. The tree is surrounded by a number of steel rings, perhaps
representing rings used to spike trees against the chainsaws used
to cut them down. The isolation and ragged state of the tree gives
the viewer a feeling of desperation, and a sense that little stands
between our dwindling forests and the saw.
