Words From a Letter is a proposal for a public art and advertising (infiltration) project. The imagined future of this project is that it would be installed at multiple CTA train stops as large format posters that appear to have no contents until viewed at certain hours when the sun would illuminate the text making it legible for the passerby.

This project is a dialog between the idea of Crip theory and myself as the artist.Crip theory, in its most basic form, is the supposition that individuals are less defined by themselves but rather by the qualities that are imposed upon them by the environment.While my work often indirectly address notions of Crip theory and accessibility, this project attempt to confront it directly.

To begin the project I started with three questions I wanted to address:How can I create a conversation between the environment and an individual?
Can the environment hold authority in the situation?
Can the dialog be two ways?

Through the use of sunlight and in effect the use of natural time constraints, the viewer enters into a conversation with the environment through the initial recognition of the absence of text and/or the noticing of the illuminated text. The conversation is then held through the investigation into the aesthetic and textual contents.
