Description

Subject Matter:

The choice of random phrase, conventional printer paper and mass produced frame all place this piece in the tradition of Fluxus works which are often created quickly of ephemeral elements.

Physical Description:

The phrase "Which would you like to eat now - a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, or a tuna fish sandwich?" is digitally printed on paper and signed by artist then placed in a mass produced frame with a flower sticker in the lower right corner.
