Measures, 2002
Joyce Kaiser reprinted lines from the first poem of "Measures" by Nadya Aisenberg, reflecting on life's meaning. The lines of the poem are individually printed and placed randomly on all sides and top and bottom of the poem object. A chestnut is placed on the front of the base and resembles an Oriental rock. The book, published by salmonpoetry, consists of Aisenberg's poetry. The sculpture was made for and presented to Marvin Sackner on the occasion of his 70th birthday. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

The Limits of My Language Are the Limits of My World, 1999
This object was formed from by photocopied hand lettered text in the style Phillips uses for his text based sculptures, where each letter is physically linked to adjacent ones. The photocopied sentence of the title, glued onto the cube is repeated twice on each of its surfaces. The Sackner Archive also holds the hand-drawn maquette for this work. The text is by the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
