'SCNT' Cloned TREE

In real life the 'somatic cell nuclear transfer', as the standard cloning technique is known, is a lot harder than it sounds.

On paper you take a cell from the tree you want to clone and extract the DNA. Put that material into an unfertilized egg, which has had its own DNA removed. Trick this composite seed into dividing, usually with a shock of electricity, then let it grow in the lab for a few days. If this works plant it in the woods then the 'Mystery' begins......

My work is not simply the product of separate responces to the spirits we have given to the trees, it reveals some of the robustness of symbolisms we share with other cultures past and present as well as nature's place in the renewal and regeneration of our imagination.

But you should not have to display human symbolism in nature to prove life existence beyond ourselves.
