Because You Asked

"Because You Asked" "is all about layering: words from a line randomly appear over a mask that obscures an image over words over a background. The 'ink' for these words are simply spaces on that mask that allow the reader to see the image beneath and the image is revealed more as the density of randomly positioned words increases. At the same time each line contains a audio reading playing on an endless loop. Selecting icons triggers lines, stacking and remixing all the sounds, creating new phrases from the combinations." -- I Love E-Poetry

"In 'Because You Asked,' viewers interact with a painting window in which icons activate sounds and images. After clicking and closing all icons, the viewer has the choice to obliterate the painting or leave it alone." -- From The New River Journal

"An autobiography in the form of a Flash web poem. The user selects icons that launch textual and spoken poetic phrases, and gradually fill in the portrait of the author." -- From ELMCIP
