In Anais I have used 4 letters of Anais Nin to Henry Miller. I hand-copied the text, cut it up in small pieces and then pasted them back together in a random way. In Henry I used 5 letters of Henry Miller to Anais Nin. The outcome of this process is an abstract image of grey and white spaces. The works are about the deconstruction of text on one hand and the futile, time-consuming effort to restore it on the other. They were inspired by the phrase Homer uses to describe how words fly ("epea pteroenda") and by the ever-changing forms birds make when they migrate.
