The text &#8216;your finger \/ my thumb&#8217; was originally used in a performance collaboration with Dan Civico, for which Finlay made a handwritten circular wordrawing from these two phrases, while Civico folded origami cubes. Together with Guy Moreton and Michael Nedo, Finlay published <em>Ludwig Wittgenstein: There Where You Are Not<\/em> (Black Dog, 2005), a consideration of the Wittgenstein house at Skjolden in Norway.<\/p>\n<p>Published April 2008<\/p>\n<p><strong>Alec Finlay<\/strong> (1966, Scotland) &#8211; Artist, poet and publisher, lives and works in Byker, Newcastle-upon-Tyne<br \/>\nFinlay has produced a series of card cut-out nest-box schema, in collaboration with Jo Salter (available free from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alecfinlay.com\" target=\"_blank\">www.alecfinlay.com<\/a>).
