Scope and Contents

The prints were made from the collages Phillips created using scraps from comic books and texts from A Humument. The lines read, "redeem the dream; and dream the reason - awaken to the mended story." The image is divided in half with the left side depicting broken chairs and a chaotic appearance. The right side reflects a more tranquil domestic scene with pots and lamps. Presumably, this represents Phillips change from bachelorhood to marriage. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
