DETAILS ON TWELFTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS TREE 2007.12 /Cubical volume of approx. 50 cm x 50 cm x 50 cm
Based on the traditional Christmas carol, "The Twelve Days of Christmas," the tree is made of colored aluminum wire twisted to form the tree trunk and branches, some of which are terminated in gilded wooden beads from which hang "pears" (styrofoam), and on which perch twelve hand-painted "partridges" made of polymer clay and wire. Illumination is provided by a string of small incandescent bulbs around each of which painted paper maché has been molded.
