Tracery in the Sky combines a 35 mm photograph taken by Bruce Conner in 1976 and an inkblot drawing created by Emily Feather in 2002 on Strathmore Bristol paper. Both were scanned and digitally edited by Bruce Conner, Emily Feather, and Donald Farnsworth at Magnolia Editions in Oakland, CA. The color printing was done on an HP DesignJet 5000ps printer using archival pigmented ink on Somerset Velvet Enhanced paper. The inkblot was translated into a vector outline which was drawn on top of the pigmented inkjet print with pencil using a Roland DPX-3500 flatbed plotter.
