Blue Tree by Claude Cormier image

Cormier gives new life to a diseased tree slated for removal, decking its branches with 70,000 sky-blue Christmas balls. The landscape equivalent of a "Photoshop eraser" saturates the natural tree with the artificial, in a bid for total camouflage. But the opposite result occurs: Blue Tree stands out against the ever-changing sky, becoming a barometer for subtle fluctuations in light.
