Laser-cut leaves from the British woodlands - each one scanned from a real leaf (oak, birch, copper beech) and cut from a too-well-loved copy of JRR Tolkien's The Two Towers mounted on 3mm of layered and varnished paper, with a brooch pin attached at the back. The smut from the laser cutting has been carefully preserved, echoing the industrial misery of Isengard.
