For this piece, Tom Phillips lettered the text in the style he used for his text based wall sculptures. Each letter is linked to adjacent ones. The sentence of the title is repeated twice on each surface of the cube. The text is by the philospher Ludwig Wittgenstein.Phillips writes, "The series of cubes began with a cage of wire made for The Globe Theatre's production of A Winter's Tale. A cage of wire words followed to exemplify Wittgenstein's proposition 'The Limits of My Language are the Limits of My World'. Printing this on an acrylic cube where the inside can be seen and, by an oddity of optics, experienced from the outside seemed to unite the reading of a statement with its perception as a metaphor. Reversing the text on the outside in a later version emphasised the trap of language that Wittgenstein describes." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

For this piece that is based on a die, Tom Phillips lettered the text in varying numbered circles. the lettering is in the style of his text based wall sculptures where each letter is linked to adjacent ones. The text is the title of the poem "Un Coup de Des Jamais Abolira le Hazard" by Stephane Mallarme. Phillips writes that, " the first line of the foundation poem of chance procedures (and concrete poetry in general), outlines another dilemma which I translate as 'A throw of dice will never do away with chance'. Each dot on these giant dice incorporates the line and through the mysteries arising from the solid geometry of a transparent cube each "throw" gives rise to new configurations as chance plays its second role. Looked at from the sides, from the corners and from above, the cube's symmetry produces illusions and paradoxes of perception, hints of mirrors and fractures appropriate to each of these statements." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
