Homage To G. Seurat, 1972
Cutts collaged candy jimmies on a card to suggest a pointillist painting.

He dabbed a sponge in PVC glue, applied this to paper, and then immediately dipped the paper into a tin of thousands of candy cake decorations. Although the edition size comprised 50 copies, the process renders each one unique. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
