Falling Leaves

For The Sculpture Show - The Visionary Landscape of Professor Sir Robert Burgess, at The Harold Martin Botanic Gardens at the University of Leicester. Cherry logs, specially designed glass "leaves" in 5 colours, stainless steel. Ht. 2.5m x Dia. 95cms."Falling Leaves" recognises the importance of The Harold Martin Botanic Gardens and its position in the world of research. The "leaves" represent the changing colours from early spring when yellow, through summer with various greens, into autumn with rich browns and gold, are inlaid into a reconstructed deconstructed cherry tree cut down in 2011 from across the road where I live. It has been replaced with a healthy tree and the original tree lives once more.
