POEM

 

Street Scene Seen

 

I began making rubBEings in Spring 1999. Walking a great deal, finding materials to bring home to use — I realized I was already in an immense work room — surrounded by letterings, words, signs — that I could copy on site and make arrangements from directly. Immediately I purchased a lumber crayon and cheap notepad and the rubBEings became not only part of daily life but of my dreams and memories as well.
