This is Graft by Roxy Paine from his Dendroids tree series. Its locale is the National Art Gallery Sculpture Garden on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.
I call it Tree of Steel.
I’m cross-posting this with The Daily Tree blog and putting the close shot there for my Sunday post. Click on over. It’s worth it.
This tree belongs in Oz.

I know. Right? Apparently, we have a piece of Paine’s work in Ottawa. I’m thinking road trip! http://www.gallery.ca/roxypaine/en/ I must see it up close and personal. Always nice to see you, Katie!
