From Ryan Neil: “The Artisans Cup is the
beginning of a movement to reveal the beauty
of the ongoing collaboration between humans
and nature that occurs during the process
of training a tree. This process, currently
experiencing surging growth in North
America, is symbolic of the struggle
for life in which all living things
take part, and highlights the
similarities and differences
between people and
trees. It is a poignant
representation
of life itself, with
all of its challenges
and successes, its
hardship and joy.”
