The image depicts a two-page spread from a notebook or journal. On the left page, there is a faded, photocopied-looking letter dated August 2, 1976, addressed to someone named Martin at the Walker Art Center and signed by Otto Piene. The letter discusses suggestions for a show, ideas, and projects and mentions sending sketches in a few days. There's also a personal note that mentions a move from Brewster to Boston and a wish for well-being. On the right page, the page header says "MISSISSIPPI" with hearts drawn around it and the words "WALKER ART CENTER" beneath it. Below that, there is a sticker or label with the name "LISA LYONS" and additional text that appears to be an address and the number "377-7530" which is possibly a phone number. The rest of the right page contains a sketch drawn with markers – a vertical line that appears to be a pole with a rounded base at the bottom and a three-dimensional, serpentine shape in blue, which seems to spiral around the top of the pole. There is handwritten text in the lower right corner, likely the artist's signature and date "ottp 28.VI.71-76". The overall appearance is that of a personal journal of an artist including correspondence, contact information, and a sketch, possibly related to an art project or installation.
