The living tree

Walk the line

A gold family tree growing through a clock face. Photographs hang in the leaves: the Black Sheep at sail, Gore country, Cuth and mates and John of the soap works. Roots reach Victorian London and Dunedin.

A clock for time. Gold sap for the people we can name. Photographs hang in the leaves. Living dates stay off. The two Sydneys stay two people — the gap between the trunks is the case, not a join.

Gold thread from John of Wapping to Simon. The crimson bead is the open join — not a person.
