My work investigates language's structure, rhythm and codes. Thinking about language, writing systems, forms of communication and its myriad meanings have been a continuous thread in several bodies of work. Creating short narratives, translations and the distillation of language are a reoccurring fascination. Referencing a familiar thought or phrase creates a structure of rhythmic arrangements of text, texture and context, tapping into the musicality of language, both spoken and read. Creating textual wordplay arrangements are a form of inquiry and prompt a reflective question. An inquiry into what is visible and invisible, what we may see or not see, what may be deliberately left out and the way we encounter a text that is not ours. Invisibility and presence that goes unnoticed. Recent work weaves together ideas about the way we look for meaning that may be hidden or implied and is not explicit.
