Detail Two of Mayapple Woodland, 'Mayapple Fruits'; 2018; colored pencils, graphite pencils and pastels. Mayapples are depicted in a growing cycle from initially forming through to producing ripe fruits with browning foliage. In this detail from ‘Mayapple Woodland’ the use of transparency suggests fragile transient seasonal forms. Inside the visual footnote, along the horizontal bottom of the photo detail, the top of a turtle's shell and head are subtly delineated because turtles relish Mayapples. Within this format of story telling, viewers are presented with visual facts that educate them about the plant’s attributes.
