Certain species of micromoths, sawflies and beetles lay pin-sized eggs on the underside of leaves. When their larvae hatch, they feed on and grow inside of the leaf tissue creating visible patterning known as leaf mines. Leaf Miner Walks is a series of collected, scanned leaves which are overlaid by GPS-mapped drawings I walked with my toddler. As both insect and human being, we inhabit the same woodland. We tend to young, tracing life with the physicality of our bodies but at vastly different scales and temporalities. It is the convergence of our drawings though which points towards an entangled multispecies becoming.
