Travis Lee is perhaps if anything a collector. He had collecting tiny little composition and scraps and didn’t have anything to do with them. He
stumbled accross a small 5 inch white square one day and placed the Heinz ketchup packet on it. “That used ketchup packet really started
that project. It was a way to use a similar size but to apply everything to it--a pattern, a phrase, junk.”

Perhaps Travis Lee likes to do the squares because he can explore a variety of issues with the format--from ideas to composition to language, from nonsensical to witty to completely serious.
