NOTES
In The Shelf, Wayne sprayed crumpled transfer paper with tusche to create a field suggesting ledges being scaled by lemming-people. Because the buff Arches cover was integral to Thirteenth Memory, this paper was used for the Tamarind impressions, customarily printed on a different stock. (Source: The Art of Everything, Robert Conway, 2007)
