Alternate Geometries

This image explores the difference between the fractal geometry of nature, as embodied in the tree and leaves, and Euclidean geometry in the rectangles, squares and circles. This is my largest etching.


It is a two-plate etching, aquatint, soft ground and lift ground. The image size is 17-1/2 by 23-3/4 inches. There is no edition but there are about 13 artist's proofs done in various color combinations and printed on two different papers.
