Julie Cloutier and Claire Nereim have physically shifted the forms of the alphabet, creating a B from an A, a C from a B and so on until they reached Z and lost one letter. They write: This shift in form and meaning is intended to both reveal and celebrate the formal deception inherent in the act of reading and to create new meanings by exposing the resemblances and fissures inside our hierarchical alphabet. SHIFT, available in 26″ x 40″, screenprinted on paper, edition of 45.
