I collect the pine needles that fall to the ground outside my studio, arrange them in grids of 36 that are adhered to paper and draw lines between each to form a pattern. I currently have nearly 200 pine needle drawing tiles. They can be installed in various configurations.

The central question in this undertaking is:
x number of pine needles = a pine tree, therefore x=?
While a this is a perfectly reasonable curiosity, it will result in a different answer every time because each pine tree is different and constantly changing.
