Story Tree

The storytelling space features intricate carvings representing dozens of fairy tales. Aylor described his motivation for this artwork: “Trees often play a special role in the stories of our childhood, from the magical forests of fairy-lore to the homes and hiding places for many of our favorite characters. With these elements in mind, I have created this story tree. It is my hope that as some images might emerge very clearly, the rough and naïve carving and sculptural techniques I have used will inspire the viewer to create additional images in their own mind’s eye, as a child watching clouds swirl into mountains, dragons, and castles in the sky.”
