Negative Revelations

Fun With Words

I have an unresolved obsession with type. So one day I was bored and sitting at my desk thinking that I wanted to write for the sake of writing. So I grabbed the first thing I saw which was a packet of Oxbow brand rabbit treats. On the back the ingredients/directions come in four different languages, English, French, Italian and Japanese. What better way to write something meaningless than to have no idea what the heck they mean. I was surprised that I found mundane/alien words were made into something beautiful because I could appreciate the words for just their shapes.

This was the best result of this exercise. Then one day at work during some downtime I repeated this exercise with a package of goldfish.
