framed letterpress print on BFK Rives
printing: Trip Print Press
25 5/8 x 11 3/16 inches
edition of 21

fragmented self takes the artist’s first and last name and working left to right dissects the “signature” to find all the possible words embedded in the text. This process of deconstructing systematically brings to the surface the intertextuality of words within words. If a character is not being used, the space will be occupied by a blank space, thus maintaining the vertical and horizontal alignment of the original form.
