"I have been creating images from words that I abstract since 2004. I started with converting people's signatures into patterns and shapes. Later I started converting text from old yearbook inscriptions into patterns and shapes. I have started creating direct asemic writing inspired by languages that are now dead and had never been written down. I make these marks in a similar way to when I had to write definitions in middle school for talking. Over and over again I had to write the same words as punishment, but secretly I kind of liked it. When I started this type of writing, I realized the connection and my past came flooding back to me. I am reminded of the Simpsons when Bart writes on the chalkboard a statement over and over again." —Todd Camplin
