Produced for a Hand Print Press print exchange (and summarily rejected SO unfairly by the short-lived curatorial committee) the text reads:
Use a razor knife and straight edge to cut out the colored squares along the black lines. Paste 143 yellow squares over the 143 ‘M’s, 160 magenta squares over 160 ‘I’s, 186 red squares over 186 ‘K’s, 91 cyan squares over 91 ‘E’s, 73 green squares over 73 ‘A’s, and 74 blue squares over 74 ‘R’s in order to complete the portrait of the artist.
