Ginkgo leaves, thread, fabric
Varied dimensions


Since the original making of Memories on Ginkgoes, 2023-2024, I have continued to collect and stitch ginkgo leaves together whenever their falling season comes.

These new iterations of the work from 2025 have expanded to engage with people around me and their lives in Pittsburgh. I asked people to bring me fallen leaves from ginkgo trees that they somehow felt connected to or maybe just passed by often.  After stitching the leaves together and creating sewn drawings of their memories, we hung these back up on the trees they fell from.
