Iron Monkeys

Tree Spire

The Tree Spires was the first project under the name Iron Monkeys. We created 4 15' tall trees that were part of the "Man Grove" around the man. They were placed at the 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions.

Permanent Installation
In Rainier Vista, 2008
Seattle, WA

We installed one of the Tree Spires in the Rainier Vista development. Rainier vista is the most diverse neighbor hood in Seattle and the development is a mix of low income housing, apartments, and condo's making it the perfect breeding ground for a mix community. In the middle of this development is a park which will become the home of one of the Tree Spires. http://www.seattlehousing.org/news/releases/2008/arbor-day-celebration/
