This is the beginning of a collaborative environmental installation on which I am working with another artist for my installation art class. The site is in the woods outside of the UNCC area. We decided to cut newspapers into the approximate shape of real leaves at the site. The newspaper leaves were dipped in hot wax which added to the durability and stability of the paper. The use of the wax makes them look a little like trash as well.
