Metal Twisted Trees
These metal twisted trees are individually hand made in limited quantities by Randy Adams. The inspiration for the windblown trees came from the cold windswept coast of Newfoundland in Eastern Canada. The trees start out as aluminum or copper wire on a spool and they are cut, twisted and shaped by hand. The tree grows out of a base of Vermont slate and each tree is signed by the artist.

Each of Randy Adam’s tree sculptures begin with a long spool of copper or aluminum wire. Each piece is individually cut, twisted, and shaped by hand to create the twisted wire art you see here. Randy handpicks Vermont slate and embeds the free-standing wire sculptures inside the stand, signs each base, and seals the slate to prevent damage. Randy gets his slate from the historic Vermont Slate Valley which stretches 24 miles along the southwestern border. Vermont is one of four states where substantial amounts of slate were formed 400 million years ago.
