xIn Phillips' book Works and Text (1992), he indicates that the linoleum block was found on the street near his studio. He recounts a story (page 134) which was inspired by the find. "Every manufactured object is, visually, the point of confluence of unnumbered lines or stylistic development; it is the result of innumerable chance encounters of artists, craftsmen and artisans; is the product of the complete trade and trafic of the world..." There is a micrographic text that forms a border around the image and the documentary text mentioned above. It reads "Whether I might write about this pieceof linoleum is pure speculation except that it was found in a much begained (?) condition lying on the rubbish in a step outside of a house on the left hand side of Lyndhurst Grove Camberwell, London SE 15..." But it was too faint to be scanned as an image (MAS). This print constitutes one of six prints from walking 1/2 mile around Phillips' studio - it is based on the belief that there are no dull walks, only dull walkers. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
