and pe se and

It is stated that the 'ampersand' came about as a slurring at the end of the recited alphabet... x, y, z and per se and. The symbol itself, the shape and its variations, some of which date back to the first century, has led to some new works on paper. This one was printed on 06.16.08. My prints are distinguished by their printing date because they are only made one time so no two are alike, even though the subject may be the same. The sign itself begs the question, "what is next?". Possibly there is no question only a connector . By itself it is strong, yet incomplete, & if nothing else, graphically interesting.
