One of the main things I wanted to work on during my sabbatical was find a way to use writing I had generated myself in my work. I've been fascinated by the use of others' writing, but I feel like it sometimes slows me down and I need to have some other material I can work on more quickly. Over the last few years, I have been working on
small paper maquettes of signs. These seemed to provide the best opportunity for me to do my own writing, and I have chosen to work in a
cut-up method to generate the short passages I'm using. A few of these are coming together all at once; here are some pictures of the first...
