This small rendition of the timelessly beloved image of the Tree of Life, recalls the spiritual connection between heaven and earth. With trees grounded in regeneration and branches reaching toward eternity, the artist George Carruth envisioned this cast stone bas-relief sculpture and alive with texture. Can be used Freestanding or can be used as a wall hanging sculpture. The original for this was carved from a small block of Indiana limestone. My goal was to produce an image that captured the rough quality of stone combined with a symbolic strong mature tree. It represents the circle of life in a simple uncomplicated stone. It is often used as a bereavement gift, or part of a flower arrangement. Being a stone carver, I frequent cemeteries to admire the craftsmanship and images on head stones. To my surprise, the Tree of Life stone is sometimes placed near or on the ledge of a headstone.
