Tree of Utah: Metaphor
I'm not sure I get the metaphor, but the Tree of Utah is still a wonderful sculpture to interrupt the monotony of the drive along I-80 through the Great Salt Lake Desert.
Created, built and paid for by Swedish artist Karl Momen and finished in 1986 the 87ft tall abstract tree now belongs to the state of Utah. There is a small turn off if you are heading west, but no explanation.
