Be mesmerized by artist Steve Tobin's "Exploded Earth" masterpieces available for purchase inside The Arboretum Store, as part of the Steelroots: Tobin at The Morton Arboretum exhibition. These dramatic sculptures are created by detonating fireworks inside wet clay. Each clay pot is different. No color is the same. Creation relies on how the clay explodes. The result is the entrancing "Exploded Earth."

"These were created with the process of explosion exactly the same way that a flower explodes in nature."-Steve Tobin
