Tree of life. Shelley's world.

Anne and I walked into Shelley's art studio and this is what we found--her tree of life. The tree is made of personal artifacts attached to fishing line that is hung from the ceiling. Each artifact holds meaning for Shelley, which makes the piece deeply personal and moving. Anne and I were awestruck. I don't think we said a word for ten minutes, and for those of you who know us, that's a long time.--R
