[....] "I do, I undo, I redo" is a phrase borrowed from the title of Louise Bourgeois' site specific installation at Tate Modern in 2000. The phrase succinctly describes the creative process and also functions as a metaphor for the endless routine of our daily life. It can be interpreted pessimistically as a dead end or optimistically as the opening of creative possibilities. The script version (a rendering of Singer's own quirkily charming handwriting) of this plexi/acrylic installation is presented as a multiple, in an edition of three in each of several colours. The typographic version of the same phrase consists of Singer's modification of classic Helvetica, presented in three one-off plexiglass renderings in red, blue or black. Text by Aurelie Collings
