From the reclaimed wood, as well as a portion of a QlWV Niagara high» way sign, Mr. Lukasikâ€"l‘oss constructed four trees that double as mini stages engulfed by 'leaves.’ “l make these things to stand alone as sculptures. but I’m also intrigued about using them as per formance vehicles." he said. “It's challenging for the performer, challenge ing for the audience."

Ms Broadhurst said. "You can take away the whole performance aspect and just have the sculptures, but it's more engaging and more clever because of the interactive portion."
