This artwork was inspired by the spiral chloroplasts in the Spirogyra algae. They are filamentous fresh water algae that consist of thin un-branched chains of cylindrical cells. Their natural design resembled the pattern within the seed pods of the Poinciana tree, a material I had collected during my long artist residency at the Deering Estate in Miami, Fl. Connecting cut sections of the seed pods with very thin copper wires, I created "columns" or individual strands of Spirogyra algae that gently swing if there is movement in the air. Somewhat mimicking their movement in fresh bodies of water. The result is an abstract wall sculpture that honors yet another beautiful design created by nature. This artwork has been shown twice before, appearing different/new every time because of the organic nature of its components.
