Composition as Explanation

By adam | Published: July 26, 2009

On the flight out to Colorado, I was reading Gertrude Stein’s ‘Composition as Explanation,’ and decided to re-create the entire work juxtaposed on top of pictures. I wanted to experiment with my webcam, so I took some pictures with it. Here are the first few sentences from the essay. Not sure if I like it, or if it’s worth pursuing. Thoughts?

    When does a word as written (color, font) become a symbol for something else?
