Program Note:
Plant leaves. Textural, smooth, jagged, protruding stems, deep veins, colorful hues, full-of-holes, mutant, bendable, wet, dry, crunchy. Vigorous, middling, still. Attached. Detached. Trees. Stately, regular, odd, clustered. Growing slowly, cycling, altering course. Birthing, dying, evolving. —Erin Rogers
