À la manière de John Baldessari et de Ed Ruscha, elle entreprendra de faire son propre papier pour ses propres livres.{br}{br}\| \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t —— ''The idea of Anderson as a storyteller has footing in both her live performances and her early sculptural work. While she was a student at Columbia studying sculpture Anderson began incorporating Buddhist hand gestures called “mudras” into her pieces. These gestures could have small meanings, like specific words, “writing,” for instance or larger meanings, like higher planes of consciousness.{br}Anderson’s earliest sculptural works, such as ''Handwriting (Mudra)'' (1972) and ''New York Times, Horizontal/China Times, Vertical'' (1971), her interest in incorporating the body and language was already evident. These works were made from manipulated newspaper. Anderson created ''Handwriting'' by pressing her hand into newspaper pulp, creating a ''Mudra'', so a Buddhist hand gesture. The pieces therefore have more than even a double meaning being highly conceptual as they are actually words (the mudras) made from other words (the printed information on Anderson’s daily copy of the New York Times).
