 Item
Identifier: CC-04820-4913
Scope and Contents

Presser writes that this work is her "very personal expression of a mask...There is an emphasis on the eye, the mouth and the ears because those are the organs that I use to communicate within myself and with the external world... The back of [the mouth] carries all the threads that are attached to the alphabet and the numbers. Those strings are like marionettes pulling the letters that form the words that allow us to communicate." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
