P. Roch Smith’s playful bronze ‘Tree Men’ series was inspired by a walk in the woods. The Canadian sculptor imagined fallen twigs and branches replacing human limbs. With Reunion, two naked male figures walk side by side, arms entwined. The casting for each piece is a delicate process as each wooden twig is replaced by bronze so each sculpture is one of a kind.

“I simply like the idea of stretching out beyond one’s body limitations with these really absurdly long arms and legs – that you could really give someone a huge boost or a really enveloping embrace.” P. Roch Smith
