A negative of the sutures on the skull of deer I found in the woods. When I turned it over with my toe, the leaf was pasted to it and I thought it was an extraordinary juxtaposition and wondered whether the veins of leaves and the sutures of our skulls are like fingerprints and snowflakes...all different.
