"The art of weaving dates back to 7000 BC and is one of the earliest grid forms. Though both conceptual and concrete poets have used the typewriter extensively, my interest is in Anni Albers' typed designs. ... Anni Albers' typings were my impetus to study weaving, which I hoped would teach me about typing. ... The title, Draft Notation, refers to the pre-weaving design diagrams a weaver creates or consults to plan her work on the loom. I think of these studies as textile scores. ..."--Process note.
