That's too funny. It's kind of like the <a href="http://our.windowfarms.org/2009/07/30/how-to-build-a-reservoir-system-window-farm/" rel="nofollow">window farms</a> where plants are put in bags that line the window and have water dripping through. It might be highly effective but it just looks like a crazy lab experiment to me! Could be a fun way to creep out the neighbors though. I don't know for sure on the Matapalo but it is a rain forest tree and I believe Andy Goldsworthy lives in the UK and tends to work with found objects. I think when he uses branches and such he uses a fallen tree, so he probably has little control over what type of tree. He definitely makes some beautiful pieces!

Inspiring shapes ... although the last one with all the hanging "lab glass" calls to mind Little Shop of Horrors :-). The Matapalo tree roots are simply amazing. Wonder if that's the type of tree Andy Goldsworthy used for some of his art? These are so beautiful!
