If you have a collection of letters, you'll probably try to speak with them, rearranging them until they spell out what you want to say. But what if they can't be made to spell anything at all?

The letters used in this piece fell off a movie theater marquee one Sunday afternoon in the fall of 1998. They'd originally been part of some grand, meaningful words, but now they were stranded and helpless. So I gave them a new home.

Originally, this piece was designed to be projected on a screen folded at a 90-degree angle. I think it makes a lot more sense seen this way.
