NOTES

1. Family Stuff

A drawing by Bruno, then four or five, of our room in Colchester around 1970. What interests me is that he has accurately copied Aram Saroyan’s lighght poster. The original was destroyed in a flood. Then, looking through a 1972 issue of Phil Smith’s Gegenshein Quarterly (1972) I came across this Serial Drawing by Lloyd (then 14) I’d completely forgotten. It’s now clear to me I owe him thanks for putting the form of my later collages into my subconscious. Finally, the handbill for an early show of those collages.

2. Zephyrus Image Traces

All from the post-San Francisco period, up in Healdsburgh, Sonoma. This is a paper fortune-teller, like in school. Squash in and out then pick a number. It was the time the Russian River was being dammed and the wine entrepreneurs were moving in. The central image shows it opened out.

A piece by Stephen Fredman and then a proof of the bumper sticker when Davis was running for Governor.

Holbrook, Michael and I were planning a printed Mobius Band: this is the type sample with his note. Free Streets is self-explanatory. The birds list was printed for a Sierra Club visit.

3. Long Ago And Far Away

Allen and Gregory in Tangier. Print given to me by Gregory, along with a snip of the negative, back in 1961 after I had a photographer friend develop the Minox film privately for them.
