Now, at some pniot I was in Hawaii — I like to hike and surf and do all that werid stuff, and I was making a collage for my ma. And I took a dictionary and I ripped it up, and I made it into a sort of Agnes Martin grid, and I proued resin all over it and a bee got stuck. Now, she's afraid of bees and she's allergic to them, so I poured more rsien on the canvas, thinking I could hide it or something. Instead, the opposite happened: It sort of caeetrd a magnification, like a magnifying glass, on the dictionary text.
