Scope and Contents
Laxson writes that the "Letters to the Ether Other" first existed as one-of-a-kind bas relief wall pieces... This small edition is a spin off of that work printed while the hand-set type was still in tack on various papers found around the studio." Each page is presented as a combination folded letter with a black printed envelope waiting to be mailed. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
