I originally wrote the following for an article title in Martin's class. I found myself hypnotised by the language and thought by writing these out it would give me more clarity.
After the last staement I was going to dive into a hyperactive first person description about anxiety experienced while waiting in line. I chose to leave the five statements without the additional text because I believed the ambiguity would force one to consider the statement as a cyclical paradox or a catalyst to "fill in the blanks". This could however back fire if the viewer is expecting those blanks to be filled, in which case whould the statement would be deemed incomplete and needing further clarification.
more coming soon...
I love it.

I like it too. I thought at first that you made these sheets that said 'If you're_____this, then you're_______this.' But then I realized each flyer was unique. What if it wasn't though? And you had to fill in these blanks each day, or a number of people had to fill in the blanks...

when I was at Cal Arts a little while ago, I had made this drawing that was like a madlib sheet, it said " People want to be a(n) ________ but no body wants to _______. ". I wonder how many people ask themselves that same question while attending Cal Arts.
