Relief, screenprint, etching, aquatint, lithograph and engraving in colours, 1995, on TGL handmade paper, signed, dated and numbered form the edition of 50 in pencil (there were also 14 artist's proofs), published by Tyler Graphics, Ltd., Mount Kisco, New York (with their blindstamp), 54.9 x 125 cm. (21½ x 49¼ in.)

Over a period of four years, Stella created a body of prints whose titles all came from The Dictionary of Imaginary Places by Alberto Mangual and Gianni Guadalupi. Each work from this series is recognisable for its teeming compositions of twisting, colliding and knotted forms. The shapes seem to spill out of their rectangular sheet, seemingly trying to escape their frames. As he had done since the Swan Engravings, Stella employed his full palette of printmaking media, to realise these compositions - including lithography, relief printing, etching, aquatint, engraving and screenprinting.
