Unfinished copper plate etching of Three extraordinary botanical constructions against a nearly empty background. On the left, a densely foliated tree rises from a twisting trunk, its rounded canopy supported by intertwined branches. At the center, a tall, slender structure appears partly formed and partly dissolved, its irregular contours suggesting a tree undergoing an improbable transformation. Unfinished copper plate etching editioned by the artist.
