Block, 1994
Scope and Contents
The theme of this collage was inspired by the thwarting of a gerrymandering attempt by the Democrats in the Florida House of Representatives by the Republicans by reading a 401 page bill, consisting for the most part, of innumerating the voting blocks in the state. The latter would take 8-10 hours to accomplish. Appended to the verso is a fragment of a photocopied article from the Tallahassee Democrat newspaper, April 1992 explaining this action. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
