These photographed seeds, appearing as stars, come from the cones of the Utah juniper and are arranged according to the stars that appeared in the early-spring sky in Palmyra, New York, 1820.
“Stars and seeds: always sending light into the future,” said Anderson. “Their effects—just as a restoration— endure beyond their creation [and] are testimony to anticipation and orchestration. And I remember—in remembering origins—my life is watched with the same knowing care.”
