Scope and Contents

The work consists of hundreds of loose, moveable chads from printed text in the foreground with pasted printed chads as a collaged relief onto the background enclosed within a picture frame. The work provides a dynamic three dimensional image of positive and negative space as the fragments of paper are closer and further away from the plexiglas barrier. The artist's printed comments in German on this work have been pasted to the verso. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
