That tree, the universe
This etching is based on a idea that the universe is like a tree with the cosmos made of galaxies as its branches and stars as leaves. I think of ancient traditions of the cosmic tree and so forth. I was struck one day by the large old trees one finds in the Royal Botanical Gardens which for me typified this idea of universe as tree. There is also one grand tree in the park beside Central station that also leaves me in awe.
