Eleven

(English-Finnish dictionary pages, graph paper, thread, poetry composed of cut up encyclopaedia pages)

click to enlarge, as usual.

Somewhat nonsense poetry constructed out of two encyclopaedia pages (both under K), roughly translated, with equal appreciation of grammar that was used in the original poems, paying no attention to the original meaning of the words:

K may be=
King, Knight,

the most accurate form=
a prince without a (negative) point.

and

a formless mass of matter, or Chaos,

the most prominent two of this time,

one stays still, the other approaches the first without limits,

Heat transfer to the outer shell, and

Today has been a better day. Sorry I'm posting this so late, it's been a busy day, translating and traveling a bit. I may stay and just relax here in Jokela for one more day, which means I would need to make you tomorrow's matchbox here on the road. I have some ready at home, but no photos! Maybe my mother will let me use some of her craft supplies... I don't want to miss a day.

This matchbox is my own personal favorite so far. I like making things that make very little sense, and I like writing. Though this time I just borrowed some excerpts concerning Chinese art, ceramics, maps and chaos. Private animal, what a wonderful thing to own. I much prefer private animals to pets.
