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

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

 Beginning as a collaboration with fellow artist, Saige Baxter, Duncan MacDiarmid undertook a six-year project to construct Firetree, a 24-foot-tall steel sculpture that is rich with details formed in copper and other natural materials. There's a child's sense of playfulness and fantasy seen in its design, however through symbolism, Firetree imparts a message to all ages about human life within our finite, planet habitat. It takes little effort to realize that we rest undeniably within an extraordinary planetary ecosystem. ​

​“Firetree infuses the excitement of fire into a playful, thought-provoking sculpture,
that challenges our global community to achieve the extraordinary.”  
   ​

During a Firetree Celebration, 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.
You don't need fire to appreciate this artwork as a global metaphor.
