Col-umns / Cross, Doris., 1982

 Item
Identifier: CC-61970-10004422
Scope and Contents

Cross reworked dictionary columns "leaving found words precisely where they exist in the columns of Webster's Secondary School Dictionary, 1913 edition. The found words then comprise the statement.

The appearance of Cross' work is reminiscent of Tom Phillips' A Humument. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Expire - Expressly / Cross, Doris., 1979

 Item
Identifier: CC-18884-19262
Scope and Contents

Cross altered the pages of Webster's 1913 edition of the dictionary leaving "found words" to comprise a new poetry. In this sense, her work is similar to the artistic process employed by Tom Phillips in his book, A Humument. In this print, the page defining the word, "expire" has been altered by covering most of the words with images having indistinct features of human faces, perhaps to symbolize the vanishing of life. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Dates: 1979
