Interpretation
This monumental glass, steel, and bronze sculpture by identical twin brothers Doug and Mike Starn is a continuation of their exploration of organic systems through root and branch forms and a direct response to the arboretum-like character of the Princeton campus. The extraordinary colors of the glass inside the 18-foot-tall frames are created by a new glass-dying technique pioneered in Germany.

Feedback
The Museum regularly researches its objects and their collecting histories, updating its records to reflect new information. We also strive to catalogue works of art using language that is consistent with how people, subjects, artists, and cultures describe themselves. As this effort is ongoing, the Museum’s records may be incomplete or contain terms that are no longer acceptable. We welcome your feedback, questions, and additional information that you feel may be useful to us. Email us at collectionsinfo@princeton.edu.
