Partway Through Visual Poem #1

Note: You may have to click on the picture to the left to load it, it seems to be too big for a thumbnail.

I'm about 25% done with my first piece. I'm working on a 40" by 50" poster. I assembled hundreds of Ys to create a fractal network that resembles a mass of intestines if you focus on the white space. I then began filling the chambers of this network with stream of consciousness content with wordplay, encryption, free association, etc. Some of the wordplay and arrangements are easy to get, others take much more time. I plan on having the entire network filled with fragmented and chaotic content. The result should be an interesting representation of how the human mind stores and accesses ideas.

I'm having some problem with computer memory. I was barely able to export the picture as a low quality png in adobe illustrator. I may have to rasterize the poster and continue working off of the rasterized export to avoid exceeding my RAM limit. (My computer has 4 gigs of RAM).
