Lot note:
'In the five editions of shaped prints produced in 1974, each impression is made unique by irregular dyeing of the papers, by individual hand coloring, and by found objects such as buttons, glass, sequins, yarn, feathers or leaves, which were added to the pulp during the production of the handmade paper. The common etched and embossed images denote these objects as multiples.'
