Each of these alder leaves is an entirely unique casting of nature made by Ashleaf, the small London-based art practice Hanna co-founded and was actively and collaboratively working in at the time these sculptures were created.

The leaves were cast in solid bronze in 2015 at the Crucible Foundry in London using the traditional lost wax bronze casting technique. They were patinated black and guilded with gold flakes.

One side of the leaves preserve the delicate details of the leaf texture while the other side reveals brush marks that bear witness to the how they were captured as a sculpture in this material. Each finished with a makers mark stamped in the wax on the reverse. please note, each leaf is sold as seen. Some have imperfections in the condition as the leaves were found. Please check photos of each individual leaf.

There are three unique leaves available in total. These are the last pieces of this small bronze leaf collection.

This listing is for one single alder bronze leaf sculpture only. Group photos are only for illustration purposes.
