ABSTRACT
It is within this space that they settle. Some on the sides of raised garden beds, others on paths of mulch. Still others nestle in dirt, exploring and getting close to what has captured their attention. It is a two-way street. Just as this aged leaf has captured Ben’s eye, Ben too has captured this leaf. Using his eye to guide his hand he creates the twisted stem, the jagged edges, the cracks and sprinkling of dirt. His eye wanders and his hand follows (Figure 4.1).
