"[A] play on the childhood game of memory. However, instead of matching like pairs, the goal of this game is to learn to associate and partner symbiotic relationships as they are found in nature. Players learn not only about mutual partnerships, but also about commensal, and parasitic ones in order to better understand the complexity, diversity, and often brutal severity of relationships that bring order to the natural world"--Artist's statement at Vamp & Tramp Booksellers' website, viewed on March 29, 2014.
"Printed at the University of Iowa Center for the Book from polymer plates made from hand-drawn illustrations on French's chipboard"--Colophon. - Local Note:
