Description Expressionism of an anatomy of a tree. Outer bark keeps out moisture in the rain; prevents the tree from losing moisture when air is dry; insulates against cold and heat and wards off insects. The inner bark is a pipeline that passes food to the rest of the tree eventually turning into cork protecting outer bark.The cambium cell layer is the growing part of the trunk annually producing new bark and wood. Sapwood is the trees pipeline for water moving up to the leaves. Its the new wood creating rings laid down as inner cells lose their vitality and turn to heartwood. The Heartwood is the central, supporting pillar of the tree. This dead matter will not decay or lose strength while the outer layers are intact. Needlelike cellulose fibers bind together by a chemical glue called lignin a steel-like vertical matter that can support a weight of twenty tons.
Emily Colosimo, Toronto Member Since July 2012 Artist Statement Emily grew up in a Canadian Italian Family where her mother was a talented seamstress/pattern designer and her father's hobby was redesigning cars. Her dad once envisioned an alternative fuel vehicle over 40 years ago. All of her siblings inherited much of their talents. Her first artwork was a lighthouse drawn when she was 4 years old. From that point on she was destined to become an architect. Sketching, painting and currently digital artwork has become her passive leisure. From Landscape Architect to Advertising Art Director Emily uses her artistic tools to envision her ideas.
