Artist Statement for Todd Camplin

To paraphrase Rainer Schulte from a leture at UTD, in order for someone to get even close to the truth of a novel; one would have to read it (that novel) at least ten times or more.
My work is about abstracting text into an objects/images. I start with text, because words have always mystified me. I read some words backwards, I drop prefixes and suffixes to words when I am reading, plus I read a few letters backwards. So, in order for me to read anything, I must approach a text by process of repetition. After I have read a text, a few times, the meaning changes from the first reading; because I am able to clear up the visual impairments through the act of repeating the readings. The same thing happens with my art work. When I start out with text, those words have a meaning, but after my process of repetition, the text becomes an object/image with a new and truer meaning. Truth of a word or text goes beyond our language's ability to fully illuminate us. St.Thomas Aquinas marked out the word 'being' in order to show that language is not fully sufficient in explaining the truth of a word like 'being.' My work essentially marks out text through abstraction. My abstract objects/images become the unsay-able truth of any text.
