Tekst-drivən the facebook assignment

arts&letters - original works of assemblage, collage, mixed media. mostly female texts, including my own.

utterly & not at all charmingly under construction
so each distinct ball of tangled string is a strand in a personal web of sharing & survival - but the chicken-egg queasiness is profound for someone with few friends. what i DO know is that TUMBLER is the place that is most inspiring & sustaining…

so now it’s tumbling onto the site & all the notes & buttons leave a nasty collection of graphic mousepoop at the bottom of every post. arg.

every day full of that sort of distracting question & resulting attempt to learn more about stuff that doesn’t interest me - the antithesis of making & working

22 QUESTIONS – altered book

Posted on July 31, 2012 by judith

an abecedarium of original rhyming couplets for almost every letter.
each spread (2 square pages) has a third segment which folds over and conceals the second panel – as “yes” does here:

V – detail / closed

So each of the third panel’s sides are part of a different composition. Here is the inside of the folding panel and what it had covered:

V – detail / open

First I wrote the text, then collaged all the pages, then lettered the texts.

text is precise, and fixed. images are metaphoric and fluid.
text is about a moment of casting thought into words.

do i get enough moonlight – detail / open

G / H – detail / open

images preserve the story and let the meaning shift.

X – detail / closed

so the text is circumspect, for the most part : tucked in, standing off to the side, sheer, small. etc – so that usually your experience has some distance from my story until you choose to read it.

X – detail / open

(to be very much continued)
