The looping, recursive architecture of this piece returns the letter to pure graphic desire, unmoored from semantic duty. Voss works the ground the Lettrists staked out, where the alphabet was seized as raw material rather than carrier of sense. The capital form is traced through overlapping arcs and angular descenders until legibility buckles into something closer to a body than an alphabet.
