A Remembrance of R.L.S., 1987
This memorial to Robert Louis Stevenson takes the form of a sacred grove bounded by an ashlar wall on a half circle and by five silver birch trees (Betula pendula) across the diameter. At the foot of the tree trunk is a stone tree column base inscribed with R.L.S. and Stevenson's dates beneath (1850-1894). The site is a Stevenson sanctuary, an area for reflection that is half private and enclosed and half open to the world, just as are Stevenson's writings. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

These three prints depict the individual figures in the print Apollo and Daphne: Design for a Wall, 1992.

Arrosoir, 1984

Baveuf described Robespierre as 'the genius in whom resided truly regenerative ideas...'

Citron Bleu, 1994
Image was taken from a detail of a painting by William Gillies. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
Classical/Neoclassical, 1987
The classical image is of a six layer cake; the image of neoclassical is of six stacked drums. In each picture, the sizes of each layer become progressively smaller from botton to top. The cake probably refers to Marie Antoinette's pre-revolutionary statement, "Let Them Eat Cake!" and the drums refer to the French revolution. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
