LINDEN BRICKHEAD

 

 

Collection of Christel DeHaan - Linden House Sculpture Garden, Indianapolis, IN

LINDEN BRICKHEAD was commissioned for a new sculpture park at the Linden House Estate, in Indianapolis, Indiana—the sculpture’s name derived from the many Linden Trees growing there.

The poet Elizabeth Browning paid her tribute to the Linden tree, of which she wrote:

'Here a Linden-tree stood, bright'ning
All adown its silver rind;
For, as some trees draw the lightning,
So this tree, unto my mind,
Drew to earth the blessed sunshine

From the sky where it was shrined"
