Firetree visualizes ideas about
people connecting with people, and to the planet.

  •  How do you create an object that can represent the "Big Picture" of life on Earth?
  • Then how might you imbue it with a sense of purpose?
 
The Firetree Project attempts to answer these two questions with a 24-foot tall, steel and copper sculpture. It represents the people, animals, and plant life living on a planet with a hospitable atmosphere, fertile soil, and water. The sun is represented as is the ever-present force of gravity. Add past, present, and future time, plus a touch of artistic whimsy and you will recognize the Firetree and within it, the amazing fire that symbolizes the energy and vision our global society holds to build a sheltering planet home with a strong future for all people on Earth.
​
This artwork hopes to ignite a vision for the world, one where engagement, ingenuity, and perseverance can build a safe and lasting planet habitat on Earth.
Firetree celebration

  • You stand, as do all people, within the Firetree.
Firetree is a steel and copper sculpture that represents the interconnected web of our global society.

You don't need fire to appreciate this artwork as a global metaphor.
​
Replace fire with other dynamic elements, such as video, lights, music, and dance.
Working with The Firetree Project, your staff can provide a Firetree event that is specific to your location.

Symbolism - Book One
Firetree presents the many things that we know about life on Earth.

Whether it’s religious conflict, political divide, climate change,  human rights, equity, food security, or your air conditioner isn't working, these issues all have one thing in common, they exist within the very finite space of our remarkable planet.
It's unlikely that we'll be planet-hopping anytime in the near future.
Earth is clearly our present and future planet home.
