Generosity
Pausing on his way, Generosity brings visitors to an awed standstill as they approach. A towering regal buck with purple tree legs, he hosts other creatures in his branching leafy antlers. Generosity reveals details in all directions as viewers make their way under and around his belly and rooted feet.
I wanted to tell the story of a creature who is made by the forest and also gives back to the forest. Generosity is at once the giant oak tree who feeds beings who live in and on and below, and he is also the beings who are fed by it.
