Within an outline suggestive of two lungs, Phillips has painted indecipherable hieroglyphics on stretched vellum. The painting of the symbols within the outline was done by first applying a solid coat of paint and then carving out the letters with a surgical scapel. This leaves the unpainted vellum surface in this region roughened to the touch bit at the painting's borders smooth. The 150 year old frame that holds the irregularly shaped vellum was used by a company to dry and stretch vellum, a type of heavy parchment prepared from lambskin. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
