I’ve always admired the work of the Californian
visionary artist and poet, Kenneth Patchen. This is
a quote from one of his paintings: a cry from the last
frontier! I’ve squashed everything into a single
composition: a dense sculptural form created by packing
the relief-cut letters into a tight abstract bundle,
and then finely incising the surface of each letter
to permit greater legibility. But I’ve always
had a nagging suspicion that the “US” at
the end might be read as U.S. I hope not.
