I’ve been working on a South African alphabet for a little while – the idea came to me while I was preparing for my exhibition in March and so far I’ve done A, B and C. I also thought that perhaps I’d send the idea to some publishers and see what they thought of the idea. If they like it I’ll only have 23 letters left to do.
