I create a range of work that is inspired by my joy, curiosity and awe of nature. It is a synthesis of art, design, environmental science, culture and craft.

- Stoneleigh Garden Franklinia Pleated Leaf
- Rives paper base with single hand-cut leaf on rice paper applied [Franklinia]
- 2 x 5.5 x 1 in (5.08 x 13.97 x 2.54 cm)
A single Franklinia leaf is used to showcase the incredible range of color within a single leaf as well as the pronounced veining that leads the viewer’s eye around the sculpture. A symmetric folded motif is applied to the natural form of the leaf, resulting in a dynamic form that suggests a leaf insect (Phylliidae) or a caterpillar in motion. The crisp pleating accentuates and contrasts the leaf’s inherent visual qualities.
