Description
"Randomization of one pattern, a primeval pine tree, with preplanned placement, black ink on paper with an acetate overlay of black ink. Dimensional experiment of a minimal graphic enhanced by using overlays. This presentation of black ink on gray-blue canvas retains the dimensional quality of overpainting by the random placement."
