infinity of possible choices about letterforms
…or really, about anything, for that matter. !!! No time to write much at the moment but here is some process preview for new work I’m doing for the show (opens February 2nd, 5-7, AS220, 115 Empire St. Providence). Lots to do, not a lot of time.

rsvp notecards from 1959-1961, from a curb in new york city to an attic in providence to my hot little hands (thanks Will, collector extraordinaire!)
desk scenario — I’m referencing years of collecting ephemera & hundreds of pictures I’ve taken of fonts for letterform generation, and mining writings that I was doing (for performances this past fall) for text generation…
learning a lot about script fonts; the variation is so broad, anything is possible!
architectural drafting strategies; these letterforms are based on the packaging from some fireworks that Jacob had…

okay byeee time to make another sandwich, drink more coffee, & then back to work!
