A sycamore tree shelter St. Paul's Chapel from the blast created by the falling towers. The tree itself was ripped out of the ground. The artist made a mold of the stump from the tree and with other tree segments made a large sculpture called Trinity Root to stand as a testament to life, humanity and the positive response to the catastrophe. It shows him making molds, and casting the sculpture in bronze. It is pretty interesting - As ENTS we are supposed to celebrate trees in art and this is an excellent example. The video clip is available online from the above address or directly at:
