Edition Information:
Proof before the editioning of the only state.
Background:
To help Bourgeois prepare for what would be a major project together, "the puritan," Ben Shiff of Osiris, New York, provided her with test plates on which she made various technical experiments. This is one of the experiments that led to the editioned composition "Branches" a few years later.
