 Item — Box: 187
Identifier: CC-09881-10077

Scope and Contents

The image in the center of this work depicts a collaged reproduction of a renaissance painting of Adam and Eve with their hands on an apple. This is surrounded by linear calligraphic markings formed with black thread embedded in the paper that covers the object. A larger calligraphic mark formed with thicker brown thread simulates a large letter beginning an illuminated manuscript. Calligraphic markings at the bottom of the Adam and Eve image act as a "caption" for the painting. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
