White Ash
The White Ash (Fraxinus americana) is a large, deciduous tree native to North America, prized for its strong, resilient wood and attractive appearance. Typically reaching heights of 50–80 feet, it is recognized by its compound leaves with 7–9 leaflets, grayish bark with a diamond pattern, and a rounded canopy. Unfortunately, it faces significant threats from the invasive emerald ash borer, which has devastated populations across its native range.
Evoking a sense of resonance, this artwork constructed from White Ash creates a metabolic balance. The repeated pattern gives a sense of predictability and balance, which the mind tends to find soothing.
