Artist Statement for Joshua Luther
|
|
|
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.
