Cathy says: "Inside are digitally enhanced asemic characters -- each a small part of a painting I'm currently working on. I began my painting after returning from a two week archeological tour in Guatemala where we were highly saturated with Mayan glyphs on stelas, altars, temples, and ceramics. The cover represents the order of eleven of the glyphs in my painting. Five more glyphs inside are not represented on the cover." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
