CrashBonsaiwas created by John Rooney, an artist torn between the desire to create and destroy. Hegrows bonsai, and combining them with models of cars and trucks, which are first given the appearance of a car that has been in an accident, creates “CrashBonsai” - small copies of car accidents.
The arrangements are available in limited quantities at select Boston stores. You can see his work by visiting his web gallery. He also sells wrecked model cars and trucks on his website for bonsai enthusiasts to use as art supplies to make their own "CrashBonsai."
You will find a variety of vehicles in wrecked condition. Each model is unique and has been individually disassembled, cut, melted, sanded, smashed and then reassembled. Some models may fit perfectly with your existing bonsai, but you should expect that you will most likely have tocreate a new bonsaiaround the car, often having to move the tree closer to the edge of the pot to make room for the car. No passengers were injured in the CrashBonsai crash, although some drivers reported momentary loss of consciousness.
It is worth noting that CrashBonsai models can be used not only withbonsai treesThey look great on coffee tables and kitchen tables, nestled against lamps and toasters.
