I started with the idea that this work should be text base, but access to traditional equipment and the time I had available did not instantly marry. Finally I decided to make the work using digital technology and create a unique font for the project.

I began with the formal a 2 x 3 grid structure of braille. I then reversed the positive and negative spaces so that the dots making up the letters became holes and the holes became dots. In turn these new dots were randomly outlined in one of the four processed colours.
