520    One day, Phillips went to a bookseller's with the express 
       intention of buying a cheap book to use as the basis of an
       art project. He randomly purchased a novel called A Human 
       Document by Victorian author William Hurrell Mallock, and 
       began a long project of creating art from its pages. He 
       paints, collages or draws over the pages, leaving some of 
       the text peeking through in serpentine bubble shapes, 
       creating a "found" text with its own story, different from
       the original. Characters from Mallock's novel appear in 
       the new story, but the protagonist is a new character 
       named "Bill Toge", whose surname can only appear on pages 
       which originally contained words like "together" or 
       "altogether". Toge's story is a meditation on unrequited 
       love and the struggle to create and appreciate art.
