Leaf Tally

Rosenwald Wolf Gallery, University of the Arts Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 1994

Materials

Sandblasted glass


Dimensions

6" tall x 12" wide  x 4" deep

The leaves of three different young trees--oak, maple, and beech--were recorded and sandblasted onto glass. Each leaf became a single plate of glass.  Stacked up from the largest to the smallest, Leaf Tally creates a graph of how many leaves are produced by different saplings. The maple has the most biomes per year.
