About Me" If I stand fast will dig my grave" is a reworking of a line from JW von Goethe's Faust .

Breaking up the words and tightly composing the letters into a rectangle reminds us of urban sings where the meaning of the phrase4 is reinforced by the minimalist quality of the letters and the space around them. There works shift between the readable and the abstract as we look at them.
