Note
In this work, Harper pays homage to Lewis Carroll’s back-to-front
world that came to life in Through the Looking Glass. Harper’s “knee
plays” are titled such after he heard this term used by Robert Wilson
and Philip Glass’s in reference to “one-off works that are complete unto
themselves, but also have both physical presence and content
suggestions of what might follow…”( Adamson, Glenn, and Martha J.
Fleischman. Bizarre Beauty; The Art of William Harper. Arnoldsche, 2024,
p.40)"
