Maya Lin: Ghost Forest Seedlings #116

Maya Lin’s Ghost Forest Seedlings depict a seed or group of seeds that grows into an intricate root pattern, or seedling, over a predetermined amount of time. Each of the 500 unique works from the project consists of a signed print of the final root system, printed on Hahnemühle Bamboo paper by Brooklyn Editions. Varying traits in Ghost Forest Seedlings include the number of seeds in each work; the colors of each seed and root; the number of roots that grow; and the duration of the growth period for the root systems, which can range from one hour to three months.
