Scope and Contents
Winkler's work consists of forming line constructions and geometrical shapes based upon connecting the letters of a word with straight lines to a circle of the letters of the alphabet. These shapes might be considered a semiotic representation of the word in a non-verbal language. The line drawings by themselves are also placed on the landscape photographs. The significance of the typings in a non-verbal language done on the verso of the pages with the colored photographs of the landscape and ancient tablet scenes is cryptic. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
