Installed in the Gorham Elementary School library, this eight piece photographic mural fills approximately 120 square feet. The panels are mounted with metal framing and interspersed between the windows. The imagery is silk-screened with metallic inks and laminated between safety glass. The subject matter references an interior landscape tied to the outside world. The photographs are a collection of images capturing a maple leaf at a point in its life cycle where the outer epidermis has fallen away leaving only the lacy, cellular structure visible. From the repetition of shapes found in the veins of a leaf to the architecture of a tree or the landscape as viewed from afar or form a satellite image, this installation is designed to be open to interpretation. Set within the contemplative space of a library, it is meant to offer an invitation to reflect on connections within nature as well as our relationship to it.
