Continue reading →: a page from “studies of the letter A”
I took some of my letter experiments, designed ‘camouflage’ for the rest of each page, screenprinted them in the format of a small booklet, which I then hand-bound with a dotted-dash binding. I’ll try to get a picture of the actual booklet uploaded later. For now, this is page 3,…

Here is what the project looks like now. The empty space on the right is still an enigma…I can’t decide what I should put there…my name, another word, or a square box of color that is either static or animates in from the side. Each of the words is hilighted…
