One piece especially stood out: a giant photo of a leaf with a shadowy image of people superimposed on its surface. I asked the gallery owner about the piece, and he filled me in on the details of its creation.

The artist dried a leaf, made a cut-out image of a circle of people holding hands, placed the cut-out on the leaf which was then exposed to the sun to create a solar ‘tattoo’. She took a digital photo of the whole thing and enlarged it massively, then had it printed on canvas.

This strikes me as a truly inspired way to create an art piece, and i like the statement that the artist appears to make: humans are a part of nature. We can express our creativity by collaborating with the natural world.
