#SciArtSeptember Day 10: Algae

(This was going to be cast in brass, until some guy dropped it on the ground and utterly destroyed it. An incomplete process photo is the only thing left)

I arranged found Araucaria leaves so they evoked the motion of algae in water.

Several twisted and brown dry araucaria leaves (they look like spiky twigs) are attached to a tilted brown wax cube, which rests on top of a white plasticine cube of the same size (this was temporary). All of it is on a wooden table with some dirty metal tools, drops and pieces of wax.
The leaves extend from a diagonal plane of the cube, starting close together and getting more separated at the end, describing sinuous shapes.
