Measure for Measure

Measure for Measure is an installation of 4,487 handmade paper seeds. The seeds are displayed in groups, where some are contained in found vintage glass and brass curio boxes and others are uncontained, forming piles. There is one seed for each mile that that my ancestors, and their fig tree, traveled, when they emigrated from Morcone-Benevento, Italy, to Waterbury, CT, USA.
