New Sculpture - Wishing Tree 01101
Onondaga's newest sculpture, Wishing Tree 01101, was dedicated on Thursday, October 22 at 11 am. The sculpture was created by artist Tash Taskale. The piece is a 25' high, galvanized red powder coated steel work that represents the iconic, symbolic forms that humans have created throughout history to help bring them good fortune and protection. It is the third in his series of ‘Wishing Trees’ - others are in Taiwan, and Hartford, Connecticut.
"The sculpture represents a genetically modified tree. All over the trunk and on the branches are "0's" and "1's", binary numbers, which symbolize the basis for all digital communications." - Tash Taskale
The piece is part of Onondaga's outdoor sculpture collection that is open to the public for self guided tours.
