A companion piece with "METERED GROWTH", three lamppost trees sprout and stand strong, their filaments like night flowers glow, pulsing at different rates and in multiple colors. All steel aspects of the work will be painted as if wood. This unexpected artistic medium cultivates a non-sequitur juxtaposition between icon and material.

Once a virgin forest, later cut with native tribal trade routes, the area developed further when a military roadway provided access to the land for farming. Eventually, residential housing replaced the rural area only to be commuted by the needs of the airport. Ironically, the land is again devoid of houses. Beneath the surface of the earth lies a seed pod for future archaeologists to harvest a field of understanding into 20th century suburban residential living. Out of this soil will emerge iconic representations of the past, humorous, but inspiring, these resilient ancestors need not represent a threat. They may be a source of accidental beauty, a garden of unexpected and partly undesigned delights. A juxtaposition of the mineral and vegetable worlds, this everyday miracle celebrates a potential fusion of nature with technology.
