One by one, Martin Rosenberg laid a piece of his inspiration on the grass.

The architecture junior spent almost five hours without breaks collecting and laying leaves in an organized and colored pattern Tuesday on the Architecture courtyard. Rosenberg was inspired after watching a film about British artist Andy Goldsworthy in Introduction to Architecture class earlier that day.

“Goldsworthy didn’t create the colors, he worked with what was out there,” Rosenberg said. “He basically went into nature.”

Goldsworthy’s temporary nature installations include broken pebbles laid fashionably in a spiral, a one-piece icicle wrapped around a tree and various gradients of leaves snaking through the ground.

Interior design junior Stephen Norsworthy sat and watched Rosenberg for most of the second half of his construction. Norsworthy, also familiar with Goldsworthy’s works, said, “I think it’s cool that he’s inspired by it and took the initiative to do it by himself.”

Communication technology senior Pam Kisielewski watched and helped Rosenberg collect yellow leaves near the end of the temporary installation. “It’s a good example at utilizing nature to create an abstract canvas,” Kisielewski said.

Rosenberg said he plans to leave it in the courtyard until it’s destroyed.

“Artists always give or take,” he said.
