[Letters and Numbers], 1986
Scope and Contents
The drawing on a heavy brown paper utilizes a grid of graphite inscribed squares that are filled in a random fashion with vividly painted letters and numbers. The latter appeared to have been laid out with a stencil and encompassed one to three square constellations. The attachment of meaning to the letters, numbers, and their lay-out is not readily apparent. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
