Statement about Black Circle
After creating and/or collecting these pairs of sentences, I literally cut up, with scissors, each sentence into its component words and punctuation marks, and then sprinkle or drop them onto a blank sheet of paper; once each component finds its place, I affix it, using good old invisible tape. My hope is that each completed page contains two sentences (separated by over-sized periods) that appear to have snowed down to rest.
Sold out.
