This piece of art is a drawing on graph paper, featuring a tree with many branches and no leaves. The tree is drawn in ink, with a piece of tape running vertically down the center of the page. In the top-left corner, handwritten text reads "Please copy in reverse." The drawing is detailed, with each branch carefully rendered. The use of graph paper adds a sense of precision and order to the piece. The artist, Charles Gaines, is known for his use of grids and systems in his work.
