This page originally came from a set of nature encyclopedias I found on the curb to be picked up as trash. When I make a visual poem, I try to choose words that say something about being human, about a certain state or perspective. In this particular visual poem, the text’s origins came through to get at the idea that we’re not all that different from insects — we all come from and will eventually return to a primordial ooze of time and earth. I then design patterns using pen and watercolor based on shapes or forms of repetition in nature.
