This print is a single color lithograph printed from a lithographic stone. Matt made this drawing directly on the stone using traditional lithography crayons. The composition is based on a form of "free writing". In this case, Matt was responding to the form of the swooping and looping letters and embracing the joy in playful writing. The phrase is nonsensical but when spoken has a melodic and sing-song quality reminiscent of poetry and music. Matts work typically references how we organize and interpret writing and language in a visually pleaseing and ordered manner.
