This artwork represents the
culmination of a project begun in the Fall of 2007, during which I
collected and printed on numerous leaves from around Brooklyn,
primarily in Prospect Park. My initial idea was to print some of my
circular shaped images on leaves. This inspiration was a natural
progression from my interest, in 2007, in the powerful archetype of
the circle, during which I created over 25 unique, circular
monotypes and monoprints. The resulting series of single and multiple leaf
print arrangements was created using circular shaped copper plate
etchings and Plexiglas plates in various combinations. Several
arrangements contain leaves with no prints on them at all. A leaf
that has fallen from a tree in November captures a moment in the
growth and life cycle of a tree, and the transient beauty inherent
in the inexorable march of the leaf from birth to death. |
