- Summary:

- Notes:
- Published in an edition of 125, signed and numbered.
- Much of the text in Quercus Psalter is derived from the participatory installations of Quercus Scribe. Installations included live oak trees, audio tape of oak lore and visitor participation. Images and compositions were inspired by the largest stand of endangered Engelmann oaks in California.
