[From Dust to Dust], 1997
Scope and Contents
The paper tape is hand-printed with the phrase "From Dust to Dust." A small paper with an inscription is tied to a human rib bone found by Barron in Turkey. The painted and folded pamphlet is collaged with the saying "The Truth is in the Details" and has the artist's name painted in Hebrew along with two skeletons. A torn "fragile" label is also included in the flip-top box.*Web 1998: [Email]dbarron501@aol.com The "bone" is a human rib-bone, oh pulmonary specialist--and one of adam's, most likely. "love, adarn" should be "love, adam". -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
