Here we are folks, the trees in their new and permanent homes at Tripoint Medical Center in Painesville, Ohio, which is up near Cleveland. The install went smoothly, largely because we had a crane operator that handled his rig like a surgeon. The few hospital board members who were on site seemed quite pleased with the sculptures, which makes us here at TORK feel pretty good. The trees are fabricated from stainless steel and the leaves are cast resin. The hospital officially opens on October 21st, so if you happen to be in the area, stop by to check the trees out in person. Enjoy!
