Scope and Contents

The pages in this book depict abstract patterns made by applying black, gold and silver pigment with a fingerprinting technique to the pages. Interspersed among these fingerprints, Genis has drawn untranslatable, repetitive hieroglyphs and abstract markings. Four pages depict photocopies of the fingerprints that have been progressively enlarged with the xerox process. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
