From Wimp.com: Artist Giuseppe Penone carefully removes the rings of
growth to reveal the "sapling within". By carving out the inside of a
tree trunk and leaving the knots in place, they eventually emerge as
tiny limbs.

It needed bursting. I missed your earlier meaning.
After a little searching, seems his work is genuine and accurate as described. http://www.ago.net/giuseppe-penone-the-hidden-life-within
and here: http://www.improvisedlife.com/2012/10/11/giuseppe-penones-tree-the-hidden-life-within/
That museum is the AGO Galleria Italia in Toronto, Ontario, Ca. - http://www.ago.net/galleria-italia

Hmmm? Artistic license?! I would like to think he did, in fact, carve out the trunk, to reveal the inner small sapling, and not employ "artistic license" in carving out a cavity in the trunk and installing some other sapling into the cavity.
As presented, I'll accept that he did do the carving, as explained.

Very cool, having the vision to see the younger version of the tree again.
The building seem quite amazing too.

I have a feeling that the message was intended to get past spam filters.
It probably contains hyperlinks (that get stripped out).
It was posted through the web interface at DIYbanter. (Sometimes I wind
up there searching the past archives of the group. Better than Google
Groups for searching and reading.)

You are probably right. We can watch for anisagimran's follow-up!
I did a search on his name and found he is relatively new to alot of
related forums. So at least he is enthusiastic! ; )
Cheers,

looks like the way a pine tree rots. The heart and knots are still
solid after the sapwood is gone.

Didn't want to burst your balloon, cher! :)
Just like the "French model" in the video, color me a wee bit suspicious
of all things being exactly what they seem on the Internet, especially
when it's labeled as "art" and then photographed.
I would like to think that is exactly as represented, reserve judgement
for a personal inspection, but still nonetheless appreciate the artist'
tickling of my imagination.

Not to mention that I'm sure there is plenty of artistic license
involved in the end product, but it does thoroughly tickle the
imagination. :)

Just read all the woodworking posts here everyday and you'll find lots
of tips. If you have a question, just post it and maybe someone will
answer it. If you want a contract, then you can create one by making an
offer. Or you could just sign up for a class which is basically the same
thing.

Not much ... a bit more visible "timber frame" joinery and hog heaven
would be achieved. ;)
