Cole comments: "A collaborative visual poem... in the series of color Kodak prints (slightly reduced) of the original/master. Para'de was exchanged through the mail numerous times between the two artists and was the culmination of a linguistic discussion of the root 'para.' Para'de is completely collaborative in-so-far as it was treated as a single canvas and was painted in visual (non-literary) order. The piece grew in layers and rhythms." -- Source... of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
