The Archive also holds a unique book of subway drawings with a different cast of characters seated on the train, Journal of Evidence Weekly Volume 122. The books are visual chronicles of Wilner's trips from his house to his office (he is a practicing phychiatrist) on the New York subway. He draws portraits of his fellow passengers adn records their conversations in cartoon bubbles as he evesdrops on them. Running across the top of the drawings and meandering through someof the drawings are the names of the subway stops where the action took place. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

July / Lawrence, Annette., 1994

 Item
Identifier: CC-07678-7828
Scope and Contents

Annette Lawrence is an African-American artist concerned with significant dates in her life. The drawing on a flattened, brown paper bag depicts spokes radiating from the center that consist of a series of two dates terminated with a large period. The dates mark the onset and termination of her menstrual periods from 1980-1994. Four thick vertical lines formed from her menstrual blood suggest an appearance of an incomplete cube, perhaps symbolizing absence of ovum fertilization. Lawrence was a participant in the Whitney Biennial 1997. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
