Description:
The printed version of a collaborative between the artists, Marjorie Welish and Buzz Spector started from a cafeteria napkin on which Spector had drawn the diagram for a book with it's pages torn incrementally. Welish recreated his drawing on translucent blue lined grid paper including bleeds in the successive folds of the napkin, and adding two elements: a drawn frame and an additional piece of paper with the phrase "word surfaces" pasted on each of the printed edition.
