Rest in Peace

Conceived of in 2000 and begun in earnest a year later, Signifier, Signed inevitably now includes participants who have passed on. I'm grateful for their inspiration and for this opportunity, however tenuous, to have connected with them. Many truly are my heroes. May they rest in peace.
