This series was an exploration in understanding my mother through the decoding of her meticulous lab notes during her master's thesis in plant physiology at the University of Arkansas in 1979.

Some of these original notes are included in the canvases.

Frames for this series were custom built by the artist in the shop of Eldon Troth.
