Penelope Thompson Raintrees installation

Oh, I thought this piece was so cool!!

In "Raintrees" - the artist wanted to express the feeling of the heavy, cool raindrops of the summer rainy season in Korea.

The materials used were clear plastic tubing, partially filled with water and air. These giant raindrops were tied to the branches of trees, and suspended a few inches above the ground. The audience could walk under the trees between the raindrops swaying in the breeze. This installation remained hanging in the trees of the park for two weeks.
