Metallice Glosserous
Rod Marshall-Roth
Aluminum tree 9.5 'x 8'
Harris and Preston Avenue

This work of art was selected for exhibition in the 2001-2002 ArtInPlace competition.
It has been purchased by the City of Charlottesville and will remain on permanent display.

"My work acknowledges the relationship between man and nature by combining obvious man-made materials and natural symbols and forms. The dichotomy of using permanent materials to reflect natural forms is a comment on the impermanence of the natural world and man's need for such forms visually and spiritually."
