Rectilinear Forest Fern

The text in the focal point of this piece features a quote by Alvin Thomas King about the term fiddlehead and the ancient life form of ferns. In the upper right is a quote from Aldo Leopold about arriving spring, and in the lower left an ecoprint of a fern (a direct contact print that captures tannins of plants). Rectangles of various textures, materials and sizes balance out the focal point.
