This website went online
in February 2007, and the
‘Writing and readings’ pages
have been amended and
supplemented continually
since. As well as presenting
complete online versions of
works published originally in
printed form—‘rereader’ and
‘essayes’ for example—other
pages show work in more
accumulative structures.
Material is added to these
pages either by being
integrated amongst what
is already placed, or at the
end—the new format of the
bottomless page. Examples
of comparative working
processes are detailed in
the online publication The
Simple Reader, linked from
the thumbnail cover, below.
