i have always loved things that are sort of perfect but not quite. i like colors between colors, and perfect arrangements knocked slightly askew, and otherwise accomplished people who are passionately bad at something. in that spirit, i love this grid that hints vaguely at perfect geometric squares, but can’t help being it’s own organic self.

these twigs have flat, two-sided, evenly spaced, alterante branching that is very striking in winter. i am not sure the species…maybe siberian elm?  any other ideas?
