An ongoing series of digital diagrammatic drawings/poems done finger on iPhone or iPad over pages of text. They collect, appropriate, redraw, diagram and poeticize bits of literature that account for peculiar states of the mind, laying them over with my own handwritten notes, pictorial marks and diagrammatic structures of any thought that occurs while reading. The drawings are made simultaneously while reading, in an endevour to track the fleeting non-linear imaginative activity of the mind that, prompted by the text, goes on to saturate the rigid linear spaces of the page.
