Outside my old studio were tropical plants,related to the bird of paradise. These smaller and more prolific variety, grew out into the lawn, grew up to the window ledge and constantly danced in the wind. They seemed to be constantly engaged in conversation. I drew them, printed them as a monotype, then made a large collagraph plate. In the manner I have not yet out grown, I cut, pasted and painted the prints. You see most of the results here.
