THE SECOND TREE OF KNOWLEDGE REFLECTED THE IDEA OF WHAT HAPPENED AFTER ADAM TOOK A BITE OF THE APPLE. THIS WAS THE MOST PERSONAL PIECE IN THE SHOW. THE TRUNK WAS MADE OF TIES REPRESENTING HUMANKIND'S EVOLUTION TO WEARING TIES. THE LEAVES ARE CURRENCY WHICH WE ARE ALL SLAVES TO AND THE GOLD REPRESENTS THE BACKING OF OUR CURRENCY. THE KNOWLEDGE PART IS REPRESENTED BY PAGES OF MY DIARY SUPERIMPOSED AND SCRIBBLED ON THROUGHOUT THE TREE. IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY YOU MAY MAKE OUT A DEEP CONFESSION.
