The Archive is comprised of over 200,000 botanical objects, including flowers, pinecones, seed pods, and other items. Over 90,000 of these were donated by local businesses and individuals from Northeast Ohio. The others are repurposed from past projects. These natural materials are suspended from an 18-foot-tall timber frame constructed of Douglas Fir beams, filling nearly 44,000 cubic feet of space within the Library’s historic Brett Hall.
Each object was strung on copper wire by a community of volunteers before being shaped into the installation by the artist.
Visitors are encouraged to enter this immersive installation and consider our human connection to nature and the role we play in shaping the world we live in.
The Archive is free and viewable to all anytime the library is open.
