Exhaling Dissolution.

Big Twig Head

13.5-foot-high head is made from cottonwood bark.

[Nettie, 08/04/2022]

"Exhaling Dissolution" was built of cottonwood bark gathered from fallen trees destroyed in a storm. Artist Sarah Deppe said that the head is "giving a voice to nature" and (like most bark and twig outdoor sculptures) "will eventually dissolve and return to the earth."
