Identifier: CC-44933-47105
Scope and Contents Nadau wrote the Sackners that this work was made between Winter 2001 and Summer 2002 - about 8 months. He planned the work on several pieces of paper taped together. The word Adiabatique in one of the sentences of the drawing is a thermodynamic term. It was used for the title of a painting done with a donkey's tail prompted by Picasso and friends. The original title of the painting was "Coucher de Soliel sur L'Adiabatique; Nadau modified this to "Coucher de Lunettes sur Une Ame Adiabetique." Nadau adds that he never signs or dates his work.

Pneuma: Words from the Syble / Phillips, Tom., 1984

 Item
Identifier: CC-04622-4709
Scope and Contents

Within an outline suggestive of two lungs, Phillips has painted indecipherable hieroglyphics on stretched vellum. The painting of the symbols within the outline was done by first applying a solid coat of paint and then carving out the letters with a surgical scapel. This leaves the unpainted vellum surface in this region roughened to the touch bit at the painting's borders smooth. The 150 year old frame that holds the irregularly shaped vellum was used by a company to dry and stretch vellum, a type of heavy parchment prepared from lambskin. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
