Thanks to funding from Creative Sonoma and Sonoma Plein Air
Foundation, a unique sculpture resides outside of Operation Bicycle in
Vailetti Plaza in The Springs – a sculpture with a story.
Dubbed The Tree of Possibilities, this 13-foot kinetic
sculpture is made of recycled bicycle parts and culinary items representing our
two social enterprises: Operation Bicycle and the Lovin’ Oven. It was created
by metal sculptor Marty Munson, assisted by two teens - Alondra
Perez and Leila Whitney. Together, the three determined the general design of
the tree and the teens learned about weight, balance, form and space, as well
as a variety of welding techniques. Hanging from the tree are flattened spoons
and metal leaves imprinted with words about teen hopes and dreams for the
future.
