Open sketchbooks lay beside each other in a vitrine. On the lower right an open book shows two pages of ink drawings of an imaginary armored vehicle, and a pencil drawing of a dog. Above that is a sketchbook page with a gridded set of scenes layed out comic book style, depicting figures and interiors. On the lower left is a large ink drawing of a figure surrounded by fantastical foliage, and above that a smaller drawing of the head of a character with worm like hair.

A sheet of copper is cut out to look like a sheet of paper torn from a spiral bound notebook. Etched into the copper is the alphabet, depicted as if it is a child's exercise in cursive handwriting.The sheet is bent and installed vertically on a white gallery wall. On the upper right of the sheet are a series of small holes that have white light emanating from them.

A cyanotype print in a black frame. A central female figure with a birds head, wears a skirt of feathers, and has bird claws for feet. A lace doilly is behind her, like a halo. Surrounding the iconic form is an undulating border or hands with knitting needles. The image is printed in tones of indigo and white, with a very dark blue in the background.
