Robot Dreams

Fourteen years ago, I made a booklet in a letterpress class

I used a poem I’d written about the way we perceive time. Limited by my technical abilities, I felt unsatisfied with the resulting piece. I’ve always wanted to return to that poem and make another version of the book that aligns with my original vision.

So, here I am all these years later, revisiting the poem and my meditations on how we spend our time working vs. the time we use to feed our inner needs.
