This small series was undertaken to study how I might use the idea of grids
as design elements. I found that I am more comfortable using the grids
as containers for the more organic forms I normally use in my work
than as rigid forms on their own. The series also documents my second
relocation in 8 months, and serves to hold the messiness of that
process within bounds.
