scurryfunge, 1999
Sloy did the drawings and Dave made the box which they gifted to the Sackners in memory of their visit to their studio home in 2009. During this first meeting, the Sackners mentioned one of their favorite, unusual words that almost eveyone does at sometime in their house. Scurryfunge is an archaic English word that means "a hasty tidying of the house between the time you see a neighbor and the time she knocks on the door." Sloy liked it so much that she did these fantastic calligraphic drawings that featured this word. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Zapp: Censored, 2011
The smaller box contains postcards that Sloy and Nic mailed to the Sackners after the box was sent. The book is an exhibition catalogue from the Oregon Artists Series in which both artists were included. It is slipped into the larger box. All the cards deal with censorship. The box came from tony colomona who was the drummer for the band, "plug," that sloy managed in the 1990s. The box was from deen castronovo's Zappo's shoe box, with his name on the inside of the censored box. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
