Scope and Contents

The prints are composed of scanned handwritten, lower case, colored text placed in rectangular grids. The calligraphy is so precise that on first glance it appears to be computer or typewritten generated text. But on close scrutiny, the slight differences from letter to letter identify the text as handwriting. The suite was a presentation made to the Sackners on their request to purchase originals of the artist's work which was done on the basis of these reproductions. Two of the handwritten poems are bordered with collages. The titles of each poem are printed below the poem both in English and Japanese. These include Violet/Violent, Egoism/Mine and Willow/Weep/Pillow. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
