Berthold Boone has created a piece that is a tribute to the fascinating and familiar winged silver maple seed. The seed landing on a table, merging with the table top, has found its target. The meeting of the seed and table is the chance beginning of a creative, inspirational chain reaction. It is the planting of an idea, the promise of what will or may become.
