The Life Cycle of a Leaf
From a newly unfurling pale green leaf, to the white/grey decaying leaf skeleton.
This work depicts the ever changing pattern of a leaf, from its resplendent beginnings to its ultimate decomposition.
I follow the leaf as it changes shape and colour through the months, the changing seasons, and the changing weather patterns of a year.
The central leaf skeleton is an homage to every leaf which withers away beneath the tree that first gave it life,
and returns its nutrients to the earth to be passed on to the next generation of foliage.
