Scope and Contents

Cutts collaged candy jimmies on a card to suggest a pointillist painting. According to the catalogue of "The Gabrielle Keiller Collection: Surrealism and After" (held by the Sackner Archive), this piece was made by Cutts in his final year of art college. He dabbed a sponge in PVC glue, applied this to paper, and then immediately dipped the paper into a tin of thousands of candy cake decorations. Although the edition size comprised 50 copies, the process renders each one unique. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
