The envelope sketches, further developed in the books, are the basis for the works on the 25 x 20 cm canvases. Here, the forms are sometimes revised, and the colors changed. The paintings emerge as series with blurry typological characteristics. The idea behind this is to assemble the signs into groups of 16 pictures, but also in smaller combinations. Even though the order of the individual canvases has been fixed, it can be changed, and thus also the overall appearance of the group. Just as, for example, characters can be combined into different words, and further into different sentences and content, the signs without any fixed meaning can be arranged in different combinations. 

By changing placements within a group of 16 25 x 20 canvases (without turning the individual canvases on their own axis, which is also conceivable, since signs without meaning don’t have a top or bottom, no left or right), twenty trillion nine hundred twenty-two billion seven hundred eighty-nine million eight hundred eighty thousand combinations are possible. (Combinatorics, permutation N = 16)
