Passing by the "Shoe Tree" while crossing the Washington Avenue Bridge may not be striking to a University of Minnesota student, but to a pair of new eyes it is something memorable.
I have always found this tree to be full of meaning with every passing and I continue to be inspired by it. Shoes strike me as being extremely intimate. Through their mere, tattered existence on this tree, they provoke the audience to ponder where they have been. Not only do the hundreds of pairs of shoes hold great meaning, but their location in a natural environment is quite interesting as well. I have taken the following photographs with the ever-present idea of the relationship between space and time that so often intrigues those with an artistic lifestyle.
