About the work: “In making these found-word collages I am looking for a kind of visual music. The words themselves must have resonance and meaning, as with any poem, but they are also physical objects – torn bits of paper – that have a relation in space. The process is slow. I have on my work table perhaps several thousand of these little scraps of words, each roughly the equivalent of a poetic line, and it may take many months before I finally mix and match them into a poem/collage.”
