To espalier is a traditional
way of trellising tree growth
and is frequently used in
modern apple production as
a way of maximising space
and production.
Espaliered girl is a hybrid
being of a child and a tree,
her arms reaching out to
the side as if some imagi­
nary ties were training and
shaping her form. Trying
to stay close to the wall and
not taking too much space
she seems cruelly tamed
and trapped.
