The Vivaldi project uses a single piece of text to explore space, form, composition, and so on through the manipulation of an increasing number of variables.

Shown here the final 9 pieces and a few of their respective processes (shown in the grids below)

The first pieces were allowed to manipulate only the variable of space; font, size, color, and weight of the text must be uniform, flush left, and ragged right. Eventually, the text could be flush right, then asymmetrical. Then, size or weight could be inconsistent, and then both, and so on, until every aspect of the text and page were open territory.

More than 40 different pieces were created for this project, which were gradually narrowed down.

Here are the final 9 pieces that resulted from the multi-draft process (a few examples of which are shown above), with 3 paired finals and 3 that stand on their own.
The last piece requires some amount of explanation, as it differs greatly from the others. First, the original draft: 
This was made in the wake and shock of the news of a peer's unexpected death by suicide. 
The first draft was somewhat restrained in its approach, staying within the lines of the project's requirements. Meanwhile, below is the final piece:
Vastly different from its counterparts, here, legibility and any attempt at relating the piece to its content (Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons") is abandoned. The text has been stripped down completely into individual letters, rearranged into words relevant to the events surrounding the person's death, made into 3 separate configurations which were then layered over one another several times to the point of visual incoherence. The piece was then printed out, physically damaged, and scanned several times.
