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.
