Scope and Contents

This copy has a white background onto are which printed colored letters dictated by the analysis on the verso. William Allen comments: "Dom Sylvester's memorial to the artist Ken Cox, who died in November 1968 after a tragic accident. This double-sided print was printed at the Compton Press, Salisbury, in orange and green on yellow stock. The verso side of the print features silkscreen, together with the title and date. Recto, printed in black, contains the full length title "Ken Cox Memorial/Sun-Cheese wheel-ode, a double-rolling-gloster memorial for kencox" and the complex workings of Houedard's Consonant and Vowel System, as well as acknowledging Semi-Bold Flaxman by Edward Wright. The letters K- E- N- C- O- X are missing from the composition - reflecting the loss of the artist. Less than 300 prints were produced on white, pink and yellow stock." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
