Description
From the portfolio of 22 etchings by 22 artists, titled "Voice and Visions: A Book of Poems and Etchings." Printed by the Fort Mason Printmakers in San Francisco under the direction of Eleanor Rappe, each work was inspired by a poem of the artist's choice, corresponding to their assigned category: Part I, Of Love and Loss; Part II, Upon the Earth; Part III, Under the Heavens; Part IV, Journeys of the Mind; and Part V, Metamorphoses.
This print is from the fifth category: Metamorphoses. Its corresponding poem was "The Carpet" by Alan Goodman, a visual pun using the sentence "DON'T TRIP ON THE CARPET" typed forward and backward in a series of lines to form a V-shaped pattern.
