This is the chosen sector of the Arboretum of what is being scaled down.
Fig. 1 Approximate Section of Use
I measured Studio X’s length, width and most importantly, it’s height.
The results were these;
Length – 30 feet 22 inches
Width – 10 feet 113 inches
Height – 92 inches
I also plotted out exactly where I want the trees etc to stand on the actual show day. To show what item goes where understandably, I used green electrical tape and a symbol to indicate each type of item;
With these images in green tape I potted out the locations on where they would be within the room to this diagram.
Fig. 2 Studio X 1- Here you can see the Bandstand in the foreground , the lion and his surrounding five trees further up the photograph and lastly the fountain with two trees in the far distance.
Fig. 3 Studio X 2 - Here is the Bandstand again at the bottom left of the image with some of the trees swooping around the corner of the right of the image to the left.
Fig. 4 Studio X 3 -On this image we can see the trees that make up the right side of the studio (sadly I ran out of tape but the X/tree that sits in front of the white column is where the Giant Ring with hang within the tree).
Fig. 5 Studio X 4 - The Fountain and it's two trees.
Fig. 6 Studio X 5 - The Lincoln Imp in it's alcove section of trees.
Fig. 7 Studio X 6 - The Lion hiding within his trees, the two on the left on the image he peers through like in the actual Arboretum.
Fig. 8 Studio X 7 - The right side of Studio X with the Band Stand and the walkway of trees and Giant Ring.
In total there will be;

Like Larissa I never had noticed the ring in the tree, and agree that this has really highlighted things in Lincoln I hadn’t noticed before. I would have loved to have been with you when you were exploring all the places the photos were taken. Your whole concept is amazing and inspiring, and I like the element of discovery within your piece.
Hey Woody! You’re blog is really interesting. It really highlights the hard work you have put into this project. You’ve captured your projects aim of ‘making the unseen seen’ well. I never knew there was a tree with a ring around it in the Usher Gardens. Will definitely have to check that out! 🙂
