[Thick As Walls Line] / Emily McVarish., 1995

 Item
Identifier: CC-28579-29867
Scope and Contents

This work consists of a metal case that contains a paper scroll with concrete poetry printed in varied fonts and sizes with areas of space around the letters and words. The metal case was appropriated by the artist from a device used by chicken egg farmers to inspect them. The scroll is turned within the case by means of two handles. Several words have fragmented letters perhaps as a stylistic metaphor to the "new typography" of the nineties. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
