MAW

April 14, 2012.  Of the many trees that were felled in the last storm to blow through Central Park, these without centers are most interesting to me.  The serrated edges surrounding the gaping maw are visually compelling, leaving the impression that they are the jagged teeth of some monster worm.  It waits and tempts you to place your hand into its middle - just empty space - but you cannot bring yourself to do it.
