Description This is the print version of my 'Small Green Aspen Leaf 1' digital print on Aluminum dimensional art piece. It is sized to print up to 12' x 12' and is designed with extra white space around the image to maximize its visual impact.This work is an exploration of microcosms of nature, of the colors, shapes, and patterns that make each leaf we see on trees a unique and amazing creation. I am especially drawn to leaves displaying fall colors, as each leaf 'goes out in a blaze of glory' and ends its existence with a celebration of bright colors.I take macroscopic photos of leaves, then play with them, paint over them digitally, and enlarge them up to hundreds of times their original sizes. I have the images printed and baked onto sheets of aluminum, then cut out the leaves using a scroll saw, so that their organic shapes aren't bound in artificial rectangular shapes, making them more a part of their environment than a framed picture.Each piece is as unique as the leaves themselves. Once printed, the digital file is deleted and only the one print remains.This print version is not as dimensional as the original, but is a traditional framed piece of art.
