"It's determined ahead of time where the inkblots will be placed and organized. A ruler is used to mark out the page and an implement to score the paper. Sometimes it starts as preplanned, but then it may be altered very soon after the process starts. A fine point crow-quill pen and ink is used to do the drawing. The paper is folded and a miracle occurs.

"There is a fold created along the full length of the paper. When scored lines are vertical and parallel to one another they become part of the work. Vertical lines in parallel make it possible to create a series in relationship one to another and to emphasize variations. It's like a cinematic device. When you see one image followed by another it adjusts your vision, memory and awareness. What you have just seen will affect what you see in the next images that are viewed. And after looking at several and returning to look at the first one, it will probably appear to have changed. The goal is to create objects that continually renew themselves, to always change, to have the potential for the process of change."
