Eighty-Eighth Connection: Trunk observation

I appreciate winter as a time to observe the bare branches of trees. Each branch arches away from its supporting branch or from the main trunk, none a straight line, each a variety of curve like those made with a brush, not a ruler. My artists’ book, Branch Torso ©1987, plays with a comparison between a tree trunk, a human trunk and the letter y (y=?).
