Brilliant... moving
Scientific and rigorously precise. "Fragments from the Imagined Epic: The Island of Stone Money," where Hitzig experimented with a visual form, and the "Pernkopf Atlas" suite were among my favorite works in the collection.

Pure creative energy somehow trapped in words. Love the themes of decay, nature, and technology.
not bad but I do wonder where all this Official Language will lead us... reminds me of raquel salas rivera or don mee choi
