Saul received a 2012 GAP funding to complete Copper Plants/Growth Stunted, a group of three multimedia sculptures that rely heavily on the fabrication of plexiglass vitrines, metal bases, and electronic components for lighting and audio elements. Saul collects plants from unlikely sites and electroplates them in copper. By developing a system of electroplating each plant sample, he archives what is overlooked, undocumented and generally stepped on or built over. The grant enables him to finish this project and begin sharing it with the community.
