Description

Digital print using the alphabet blocks from a child's book. The letters are A C G & T and are the same letters assigned on a strand of DNA, suggesting building blocks. The letters are associated with a noun that starts with that letter. For example, A apple, C cotton, G ground, T thunder, etc. . . There are images scattered within the blocks of letters that include an ear, a swan, an umbrella and a bear. There are a total of 48 blocks. Below the blocks is an open book of only the front and back covers. There are images of animals such as a horse, cow, do, lobster, etc. which have been scribbled in with a blue ink pen. The back ground is green. Overstamped on this are 3 yellow question marks which are made from hangers and clothespins and a red pop top as the dot below the question mark. Along the bottom of the paper written in pencil from left to right "Codes and Questions, 9/20, Kathryn Reeves."
