One Meter Quadrat

Field research: plant monitoring

One meter quadrat is a unit of measure for field research in ecology. It is a manageable way to count the number of species within a 1-meter square patch of ground that can then be repeated and generalized to a larger area.

 One Meter Quadrat

This research inspired a floor-based sculpture, One Meter Quadrat, that holds 60 to 80 handmade objects, suggesting a cabinet of curiosities at approximately the same height as a mature grassland.
