Robert Ouellette has exhibited with some of the world's leading creators. This Tulip Poplar tree is a legend in New York City. Called the Queens Giant, also known as the Alley Pond Giant, it is the oldest tree in the city area. It is estimated to be between 400 and 450 years old and was well established by the time the first English settlers came to displace the native Matinecock peoples from what is now Queens, New York, near Little Neck Bay. It is hard to findthankfully. Its hollow core is scorched from fires set by careless visitors. Just a few metres away up a steep bank is a highway where drivers flash by unaware of this rare window to a past age. The Tulip tree has bark that drips a wax-like sap. Fittingly, the final stitched image reminds us of a Jasper John’s encaustic painting.
Invest in this rare collection. Trees are the world’s oldest living, sentient creations. Their majestic beauty offers us a spiritual connection to the earth. They sustain us physically and emotionally. BARKED founder Robert Ouellette travels the globe photographing the rarest of these ancient treasures. The bark of every tree tells the story of its life. Collectively, the images document the fragile legacy of nature in an age of massive change.
