The writing is spread across two pages, with the left page slightly overlapping the right.

The left margin of the notebook has a small ruler printed along its edge, and a red pen is tucked into the spine.

Left page: "Another email gut punch. This time from Momentous Institute. They've pulled out on the idea of a sculpture + sculpture garden. Leaving us stranded with no site, no funding from the NEA, and out the money we've invested in the supposed project. I wanted to sleep on it, not talk about it."
Right page: "I woke up this morning with the conviction- 'I don't have time for this nonsense anymore.' One more example in the list of those with more resources controlling the life of the work. And I didn't need to ask for anyone's guidance on a drive - the path was clear." - Rights
