I Talk To Myself Because I Listen

The paradoxical tension between language and matter involves the visible word as a physical
object. “The word made flesh” is how Johanna Drucker describes it in her book, Figuring the Word.
I’m interested in how texts can be material substances that also signify linguistic meaning;
writing is not just made of thought but also of marks. This form of alchemy satisfies my hunger
for both formal abstraction and storytelling, without being bogged down by conventional
pictorial representation- the best of both worlds.
