 Item
Identifier: CC-28806-30121

Werbachowska allows the inked, handwritten, run-on text to bleed through the opposite side of the page to produce light and dark patterns of writing with an optical effect. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

[mirror writing] / Werbachowska, Alicja., 1992

 Item
Identifier: CC-29701-31076
Scope and Contents

The text was written on translucent paper and then folded such that it remained on the inside surface of the sleeve pages. The ink writings appear as mirror writings on the outside surface owing to transmission through the translucency of the paper. The text was written on a slant on part of each page. It gives a Moebus strip-like appearance when the book is opened and several pages are viewed simultaneously through the translucent paper. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Dates: 1992
