These birch leaves were collected in 2018 in Kew Gardens. They were cast in solid bronze at the Crucible Foundry in London using the traditional lost wax bronze casting technique. They were patinated with silver nitrate to achieve this finish.

Each of these bronze leaves is an entirely unique life 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.

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 as a result of the casting process. some have little leaf stems, while others don't. Please check photos of each individual leaf.

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