Resplendent: Life-Giving Cones 2021 
Lesley Garratt

This sculptural form hanging in an old Magnolia tree is bound together with a cluster of conifer cones that I collected in the fall and dried over the winter. I have found that cones are fascinating little woody sculptures in themselves specifically designed for procreation. They are truly one of the resplendent miracles of nature.
