Arborescense: I was making the plates, using copper, and needed to refine my composition that overlaid my hand (from the handmade dogs series) with the arborescense that I read about in a book on game theory. I love silverpoint because it is meticulous and slow-just what I needed, time to think through my ideas about games and printmaking arts. Watercolor I love too, for it's spontaneity. I re-discovered part of an earlier print and incorporated this fragment of my "history" into this work.
