Scope and Contents

The earliest work in this sampling of Segay's visual poems is dated 1973 and the latest 1997. Most pages of the soft cover book consist of black paper with stylized cut out letters that form a text which is collaged to the white pages. One collage in the book was done as a collaboration among Segay, Nikonova, and Scherstjanoi. The material is enclosed within a handmade portfolio, held together by thick black laces with gold foil at the tips. This work was exhibited at the Agnes Scott College Gallery, Atlanta, January 2001. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
