Playing with Horsetails
Horsetail or Equisetum grows in wet sandy soil and can be seen in riparian habitats in Great Basin National Park. The stems grow from a rhizome deep underground and sport nodes along their length. The spacing pattern of the nodes, where they get closer together near the top, inspired John Napier to discover logarithms. The nodes of the horsetail also inspire childlike wonder as they are picked apart and examined to understand the curiosity of nature. This artwork was produced under the Darwin Lambert Artist in Residence Program at Great Basin National Park.
