This book transforms email scams about money into poetry about
human desire by way of erasure. Both the original and the
transformation are presented on facing pages. These emails were
accumulating in my junk mail box until I transferred them to my raw
materials folder which I open in idle moments. These missives,
these attempts to get something from someone for nothing and the
language they use - is it intentional, or is it the result of a
translation algorithm? Do these promises of money ever hook anyone?
Erasure brings out another layer, no less desperate. The search for
connection continues -- for better or worse.

What can a poem be? This is a book of visual poems that use
abstract, unassigned marks as linguistic elements. These are
suggestive rather than definitive compositions.
We found these stamps in a thrift shop, they were cancelled, but we
proved they could still fly. This project, consisting of a limited
edition of 25 8x10" color prints, has been exhibited in New York
and other galleries. This book is a catalogue of the original
prints.
"As it were" is a collection of seventeen non-verbal compositions
that visually explore the story as a form. Considering literary
forms, one sees that a poem resides in a shape that is particular
to it and inviolable. A novel, however, exists in many pages that
all look alike. A story occupies a limited enclosure with a
consistent though malleable shape. Each story in this collection
uses a different system of generators, each uses its own language.
Like drawing, writing is visual and gestural, but with different
constraints. Without the force of semantic content holding one's
attention in a specific mode to the page, the differences between
drawing and writing begin to soften and the act of looking and the
act of reading begin to merge.
This is the full color catalogue for an exhibit that didn't take
place of pages from books that don't exist.
