Milagro de la Primavera (Miracle of Spring)
Wych-elm branch, acrylic paint, base from an old slate fence.
The Text is from "A uno ulmo seco" (To a dry elm-tree) by Antonio Machado.
The wood is a branch of wych-elm, cut from a dead tree whose roots had collapsed into the Menai Strait. Because the piece is fixed to its base and the branches are rather slender, I had to design an alphabet with no ascenders and descenders so that the words could be read fairly easily. I first came across this quotation in a scientific book, Elm by R. H. Richens. The words are from the poem A un olmo seco (To a dry elm-tree) by Antonio Machado. An approximate translation would be: My heart expects also, towards the life and towards the light, another miracle of spring'.
