mythologyofblue: “This work consists of three microscopic writing tablets, on which the lines of writing have been arranged in such a way that they form unobtrusive panels. Inside the panel curves, the letters prayer have been arranged anagrammatically in micro-script. No white margins have been left. I was looking for a writing activity that made heavy demands in terms of physical strength, optical sharpness and sense of duty, and decided to use micro-script. I wrote in this exacting way for 10 to 15 minutes every morning for two years, without using a magnifying glass. (This kind of writing can be endured for only a quarter of an hour.)” -Willem Boshoff, Microscopic Writing
