Each fall, the sound of gas-powered leaf blowers becomes part of the city soundtrack (and with good reason—last year, researchers at MIT declared Sacramento’s tree canopy the densest in the U.S.), but the droning whirr doesn’t only cue visions of tidy little lawns.
For Joanna Hedrick, a counselor at Sacramento State University who uses the campus’s seasonal blanket of fallen ginkgo leaves as a canvas for her elaborate compositions—spirals, labyrinths and Greek keys all etched into the landscape with a single rake—the noise warns of possible destruction. But even then, she’s able to chalk up such inevitabilities—not just at the hands of the maintenance crew, but also from general foot traffic and the prerogative of nature, with its temperamental wind and rain—to the essential beauty of her art.
“I love the idea of non-permanence,” says Hedrick. “I know the leaf designs can’t last forever, so it really forces me to enjoy the finished work while I can.” Also an amateur photographer, she says that she started creating the leaf designs five years ago purely for aesthetics—that is, to provide more interesting backgrounds for pictures of her two young children, daughter Sagan and son Emil. But Hedrick realized early on that a permanent capture of an impermanent work is never as sublime as it is at present, in its earthly element.
