>>     I tried to make a series of pictures as dense, intricate, and rich
>>     as the prose in the book. The entire project was shown in the
>>     Whitney Museum's 2004 Biennial Exhibition of Contemporary Art and
>>     is now in the permanent collection of the Walker Art Center in
>>     Minneapolis.
