Aspen Tumble

The series is based upon the single leaf I found in an aspen grove at about 10,000 feet in the White Mountains, CA. Aspen Tumble visualizes the end of life for leaves: Turning, Descending, Scattering, and Coming to Rest. For city-dwelling leaves, the next step is undoubtedly to be unceremoniously swept into bags to be picked up by the trash collector... The four images are framed together as a single work.
