I then subject them to a rigorous practice of separating colors, rolling or sewing the shreds and commingling specific mailings.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The fragments, past the point of re-assemblage, still reveal bits of text, imagery, envelopes, and colors; traces of their cultural origins.\u00a0 Once a means of direct communication, my manipulation of these materials obscure their messages to promote my own.&#8221;\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Brilliant.
