Mark Addison Smith: "Enlarged found letterforms sampled from a collection of contemporary plays (including Paul Rudnick's Jeffrey, Lillian Hellman's The Children's Hour, Jane Wagner's The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe, and Neil LaBute's Bash) recombine to form an array of interactive prefixes and suffixes commenting on the shifting nuances of humanity and sexuality within a label-centric America." |
