Retrospective Triptych with Drawers / Genevieve Seille., 1991

 Item
Identifier: CC-02632-2675
Scope and Contents

This complex sculpture is composed of three sections hinged together resembling an alter piece. The two lateral elements contain hand drawn, collaged wooden pieces inserted on the front edges that can be pulled forward with a string. The entire work, front and back, is covered with Seille's unique handwriting and line drawings on paper collaged onto the wooden structure. The wooden base is actually the shipping crate Seille made and used to send the triptych to the Sackner Archive. The interior base is collaged with an original drawing, and the crate is so beautifully crafted that it serves perfectly as a base for the sculpture. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
