(Introduction to Grimoire of the Entangled Thicket, Ore Publications, Stevenage, 1973). All the works in the series are painted using the variety of decalcomania known as stillomancy, first used in a surrealist context by the Romanian artist, Dolfi Trost, but more familiar from the Rorschach ink blot test. It consists of folding a piece of paper over a splash of ink to produce forms that are more or less symmetrical and which can then be developed or interpreted. Dryad: Vine, with its mixture of arboreal, mammalian and avian associations, breaks down the conventional, scientific, boundaries of nature and emphasises Her essential unity as a living force.
