Noise 4 / Maret, Russell., 1996

 Item
Identifier: CC-27557-28629
Scope and Contents

The text begins with the single word 'silence' printed in blind letterpress intaglio. As the pages unfold, black, beige and gray colors are used for printing the words. The text deals with words associated with noise, e.g., deafening, cacophony, resonates, etc. Further, the density of the words printed on the page increases as does the printing of words on top of other words. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
