He hopes to recreate what once was. The pages spiral out. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Letters, words, hieroglyphics, mathematical symbols, equations, Braille, computer acronyms, typefaces, handwriting, pictures: the Atlanta artist uses these elements as abstract shapes, allusive imagery "” and content.
