Our task for this assignment was to create a meaningful and thought-provoking installation showing contrast through the technique of stacking objects found in nature. The medium for these two installations is driftwood salvaged from the bank of the Potomac along Windmill Hill park in Old Town, Alexandria. In the first installation we contrasted the living (cherry tree) and the dead (drift-wood) on the WAAC campus along Prince St. In the second installation we contrasted the built and natural environment by stacking the driftwood around a light post in the WAAC parking lot. Through both of these installations we showed that stacking provides structure to organic objects, but that this struc-ture is not always intended to last.

How do falling leaves shape our experience of space? We notice many de-ciduous trees in Old Town and oak, linden, and maple surrounding the WAAC, but their leaves often disappear soon after falling. What if the leaves were to stay? If they coalesced into a meandering line on the front lawn, they would express the season of fall in a way that is lost when the zealous maintenance crews whisk them away prematurely. Moving to the courtyard, an angular line creates a room for students to chat or dine by the Valley Forge Elms, tread-ing lightly while shaping the experience of the space. Within days wind had caused the form of the line to dissolve away, reminiscent of the art in nature by Andy Goldsworthy, dramatically drawing attention while using elements that are naturally absorbed back into the landscape within a short time.
