field notes
Used as a collaborative sketching tool, I sampled a selection of oak saplings, measuring their length, position, angles, and circumfrences of branches over 1 cm in circumfrence. The data averages were processed to take into account common features such as bunches of branches sprouting within 5 cm of eachother, the average angle placement of bunches, and the difference in measurements for the last branch off of a sapling. This data was used to compose a form that mimics the underlying growth patterns of the tree.
