Col-umns / Cross, Doris., 1982

 Item
Identifier: CC-61970-10004422

Words as objects, textures, movements, spaces, sounds: words supporting words, even as a column is built of mortar and stones." The appearance of Cross' work is reminiscent of Tom Phillips' A Humument. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
