The root of the original black sugar maple from the Edith Farnsworth House studded with dandelion seeds. The tree, which inspired Mies van der Rohe’s placement of the home and witnessed over sixty years of family visits, restorations, and changes of ownership before succumbing to flooding and illness in 2013, is imbued with the hope and potential of hundreds of dandelion seeds. Together with its handcrafted frame (made of the same historic wood), the piece represents a new afterlife and legacy for the remains of a prominent piece of the local landscape.
