13 Variations / Williams, Emmett., 1965
This work is also designated Mat Mot No.6. The piece consists of six words written by Gertrude Stein, "when this you see remember me," a color assigned to each word. Each print doubles the number of words from the previous plate such that in the final print the 24,516 words fuse together. The work was made by handstamping the work on 72 plates, and the integrated result visible only after 78 operations of the color press. The stamping was done at full speed to achieve the fusion of words, not the spreading of color. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Archetype Press: The Beats: Typographic Excerpts from the Poets and Writers of The Beat Generation. No.17/Spr / Vance Studley, editor., 1996
Archetype Press: Typographic Notes: The Words of Music. No.19/Fall / Vance Studley, editor., 1997
According to Studley, this project is based upon the notion of the imaginary sizes, shapes, and forms of typography using lyrics of music as a basis for literature. Upon a selective listening of a chosen composition, each designer conceived of a typographic setting or framework into which the lyrics (or their fragmentary sound) would be displayed. The object was to portray typography as an extension of the spoken and sung word. Songs by the following are depicted in typographic presentations: 1) Eurhythmics: Sweet Dreams, 2) America, 3) Eddie Brickell: I quit, I give up, 4) Like a candle in the wind and 5) Pink Floyd: We're just 2 lost souls. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

The music includes Holst's The Planets and Handel's Messiah. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
