Lawn Mower Leaves

600 used lawn-mower blades, sand-blasted clean and welded together, form three leaf-like blades, "grass" which arch in front of the Education Center at the University of Maine at Farmington. The building is "the greenest building on campus" and the sculpture stands as a visual reminder of what is possible.
