project description Tree, 2002 Tree refers to a scene I encountered one Sunday morning. I had stopped my car to pick up some students for church. When I left, two guys were standing talking on the sidewalk next to my car, in which were waiting my son and a friend. When I returned a few minutes later, all that remained of their conversation was a spattering of blood and fallen jacaranda blossoms on the pavement where they had been standing. The security guard on duty informed me that one of the two guys had wanted the jacket of the other (an off-duty security guard) and when he refused, he grabbed an empty beer bottle that was lying on the pavement, smashed it, stabbed him, took his jacket, and abandoned the scene.
