(“M and G”, raises once again the question of what meaning to assign to initials. The M can refer to Marilyn, who made the ceramic cat. Marilyn said the G did not refer to any person with that initial that she knew of, in connection with the object. However, she thought it might refer to the fact that the ceramic cat has a certain type of high-gloss glaze fired on; this glaze being made of glass.
(“The F may refer to a person.” The fourth question asked about the F and O data. Marilyn and Jane thought the F referred to F as in feline, or the F sound in the name Lucifer, the name which Marilyn gave to her ceramic creation. “The O, I believe, is simply a shape, that is, a circle shape.” The ceramic cat is composed of forms circular in shape. See the tracing on page 206.
(“Four, plus one or two.” On the back of the object Marilyn Wilbur had written April 4, 1966, as well as the name she had given her ceramic sculpture. This date is the day Don took the picture and gave it to us. April is the fourth month; the number four also shows; and the number 1 in 1966. A 2 also shows in the serial number on the right back edge of the object. We don’t know whether Seth might have referred to this, and since I didn’t know what the object was either I couldn’t ask questions to help clear it up.
(“Colors green and yellow.” Don took the picture of the ceramic cat as it sat on a brick wall cutting across grass as indicated in the tracing on page 206. This particular roll of Polaroid color film had been exposed to heat; Don took the chance that it would still give legible pictures. As it was the color print used as object has a dull, overall brownish cast, yet the local colors are still visible, to a reduced degree.
[...] In the third column of the envelope object there is a reference to “ceramics and metal sculpture” also in the window with the nude painting that is the subject of the object. Directly in back of the painting is a large circular ceramic sculpture, perhaps a foot in diameter, that is more egg-shaped than a perfect circle. [...]
[...] Column three contains references to a collection of abstracts [which are paintings], ceramics and metal sculpture. [...]
(This metal sculpture, an estimated ten inches across its widest diameter, actually appears quite a bit smaller than the more round or circular ceramic sculpture at a foot across. [...]
(This evening Marilyn gave Jane and me a flowerpot that she had made in ceramics class.)
