For this work inspired by Goldsworthy, my partner Theresa Balinski and I agreed to work with the light from the sun and how that could be used to produce interesting effects. We chose to use pine cones because of their diversity in size and more importantly the contrast of the in-and-out depths that make it up with the "wings" of their seeds. We get really great and stark contrast from it, and it looks interesting up close as well as from a difference. We also had pine cones that were closer to the trunk of the tree point towards the trunk itself, and these cones would also be similar in color to the tree bark. We decided not to include the shadow of the tree to have any pine cones so the idea of sunlight and shadows war further enhanced. It represented the idea of ephemera in that within an hour the shadow of the tree would have moved, breaking the structure of the piece.
