Research

Here:
A working publication, in progress.
Fragments, diagrams, proposals, and typographic studies

Some things begin as proposals. Others have emerged from images and research, or curatorial/editorial reflection, or as participatory methods. Each entry is a trace for something else and part of a longer inquiry into systems, language, breakdown, and belonging.
