Scope and content
The collection consists of five items of textual material, including: a manuscript note written on papyrus, three manuscript scrolls, a copy of the "Rams Horn Newsletter," No. 150 July 1997, a folder containing "Snippets of Research," and a folder containing "Political Documents."
Note
The artist states: "The information has been accumulated over the past three years. It includes phrases that I find provocative for my own philosophy and research. My art is a random process of adding layers of organic material on top of each other. The materials are my collaborators. As they flow and interact they reveal their secrets. The result is a relief work which is mounted on the wall. This direct method of working allows me to express my emotions and philosophical views."
