Tree Branch Art

Naoko Ito Branches Out With Urban Nature 2009

Naoko Ito has found a new way to appreciate trees. First there were tree houses. Then “The Giving Tree” came along. And now we have Urban Nature 2009 by Naoko Ito.

Naoko Ito cleverly sawed branches into pieces and then reshaped them using glass jars. The result is a truly unique and smart piece of art. The branch looks perfect, almost as if it had never been sawed in the first place. Check out the link to see more of Naoko Ito’s Urban Nature 2009.
