"The art of weaving dates back to 7000 BC and is one of the earliest grid forms. Though both conceptual and concrete poets have used the typewriter extensively, my interest is in Anni Albers' typed designs. ... Anni Albers' typings were my impetus to study weaving, which I hoped would teach me about typing. ...
