From the Introduction: " The words in this alphabet book were selected from a dictionary. A series of 26 prints was created to accompany the words. Spontaneous drawing marks were used to create a chaos with the order of the alphabet representing the human condition"
The dimensions of the work are 12.5 x 14 x 4 cm and when extended fully it is almost 7 meters long. For the "metrically challenged" each letter comprises 2 panels 6" wide which equals about 29 feet in length. The illustrations are lithographically printed from hand-drawn plates with letterpress text on either tan or light gray
