Drift • Fragment is an editioned, hand-painted text-image poem about reading, memory, time, labor, and rest. Each copy contains the same text but the construction of each page spread varies from book to book, obscuring some fragments and revealing others.

The twenty-four page spreads track the hours of the day using a changing palette of colors. Three threads of text move through the book, each rendered in a different size of an experimental set of letterforms called the Threshold Alphabet. More info and images here.
