Installation for the Cornerstone Festival of Gardens, Napa Valley
New life was given to a diseased tree slated for removal by decking its branches with 75,000 retrofitted sky-blue Christmas balls.

But the opposite result occurred: Blue Tree stood out against the ever-changing sky, becoming a barometer for subtle fluctuations in natural light.
