The aspen forest is infested with leaf miners. A silver hue radiates from the hillside as a result of the aspen leaf miner moth that lays its eggs on the aspen leaves. When the miner’s larva matures, it feeds on the leaf creating a silver trail behind the voracious miner larva. I was intrigued by the different patterns that the leaf miner trails made in the leaves. My artwork “Miner Problem” is a reflection of my desire to understand what damage or harm leaf miners do to the trees.
