Like the throwing of the I-Ching sticks, Conflation seeks prophecy by throwing text, letters, and images onto the page. By taking impressions of the world and vigorously pressing them into paper, Conflation forms a primordial pool, a galactic-book-nursery for star-letter birth and typographical expressionism, all under the watchful eye of a stern, falcon-holding midwife.

Various tombstones, Woodlawn Cemetery, Elmira, New York, (burial place of Mark Twain), and linoleum cut plates by Cat Glennon.
