[Draft Sketch: Tree of Life]

Photograph of a sketch depicting the "tree of life" which has visible roots below the ground, and six branches with round bunches of leaves -- meant to resemble the "tangled skein of life" -- and a serpent wrapped around the trunk. Additionally, there are images among the branches including the sun and moon at the top as well as birds; at the base of the tree, there are unidentified animals on either side of the trunk. This sketch was a possible design for one of the etched windows to be included in the chapel at Thanks-Giving Square.
