It was while working with Constance that I started setting text to appear in a rhythm, a rhythm you could hear in your head as you read, a rhythm of speech. To get the full effect, you need to listen. If you can listen for Constance’s voice as you read, that’s even better.

I made this video entirely on my phone with using an Instagram filter and a video editing app. The reason why I chose this piece in thinking about Constance is because meeting her affirmed in me a belief that language can and should exist on as many platforms as possible. Her work reminds me to keep pushing till the image bends.
