A sign-stand in a public space is a site of direct communication. Sometimes with an instruction or a direction, it is meant to impart the information needed to act, to stand in line, to wait here or there, to go into such and such store for the sale, to entice, to guide, to get across.

With the title as text on the other side, the collage is wishing, wanting, and dreaming, an impossible wishing, wanting and dreaming, with no end in sight. The re-constructed images, now as collages, are created from both subtraction and accumulation, from removal and repetition, of a newness that simultaneously builds and erodes. a record on repeat, the same dream night after night, in the forming of a path of least resistance.
