a new (old) studio assistant

my daughter, a college senior, is home from california for spring quarter. she is by far the best studio assistant i have ever had.  so, although the circumstances are unfortunate, i am thrilled to have her back for a few months. today, i just sort of laid out these fern spore fronds on some white paper and then went and read a book. eventually she walked by, stopped, and started to play with them. this is what she created before resuming her walk to the kitchen. ok. thanks for being my daughter, eva.
