Artist Statement:
This body of work deals with
the arbitrary relationship
between letters and numbers
and their assigned meanings.
We use language everyday. It
is essential to sustain our
way of life. Even right now
I’m trying to communicate to
an unknown reader the
intentions of my work. But
once we get down to truth and
meaning, that’s where language
breaks down. Language will
only be a representation of
truth, and therefore it will
never be truth.
I wanted to focus on the
actual physical properties of
the text in hopes to challenge
the notion of text as pure
floating signifiers in perfect
harmony with the abstract
world of meaning. Through
emphasizing the materiality of
the subject, the object
remains on a terrestrial
level. The orientation and
sequencing of the characters
at times look familiar and at
other times random, which is a
reminder that there is no
intrinsic natural order to
language, only a prescribed
construct.
