Hi Fred, the overall piece is pretty large. I'm playing with two concepts, the first is an obelisk out of rusting steel roughly 12' tall with large openings in the top 8'. Inside the opening will "float" an organic form of vines, leaves, and flowers, roughly 6' tall and 2' in diameter. The form would require forging and welding of the leaves and flowers, but pretty basic stuff. This is the part that I would like to contrast with the rusting steel.
The second concept is a slightly larger version of the organic form, shaped like a sculpted topiary bush. Total size would be around 8' high by 4' in diameter. The elements would be almost the same as above, but there would be some larger stronger vine elements involved for structural purposes
