Digital imaging and archiving produce massive databases of ecological data, open-access yet inaccessible without specialized technical training. “Extant Leaves” excavates archives of fossilized leaves, buried under complicated search queries and cryptic cataloging. Through their re-animation, ancient intelligence and resilience inscribed in the geology of the Earth becomes tangible for everyone.

Each image transformation—resizing, alpha matting, color mapping, compositing, saving, copying—imprints into Earth’s digital crust
