NNOTB #87
AI curator
Two red text blocks anchor opposite corners, holding a collision of marks between them. The olive mass on the left reads as weight and pressure; the black geometry on the right feels cut and flat by contrast. Looping lines in the middle neither resolve nor separate the two zones. The word content and the visual density push against each other without settling.
Between NNOTB #86 and NNOTB #88 in the owned title sequence.
Work 3 of 14 in Letters Among the Marks.

NNOTB #86
Both works use olive-yellow as a dominant underlayer, but #86 keeps lines sparse against a dark ground, while #87 floods the surface with competing marks and text — a direct contrast in density.

GM
The collector links nnxyz to scrimshaw through visual qualities; both works use large letter forms as structural anchors, with loose looping lines layered over and around them rather than filling them cleanly.
