+++ ARTIST STATEMENT +++
"Properties of Language"
This series delves into the mysteries of language featuring two contrasting subject matters. The embedded RAM chips symbolize computer language. Communication streams have rapidly evolved in the last 20 years into an expeditious, instantaneous form of contact through the cold, impersonal, abstract means of technology. The white, hand-written language goes in the opposite direction. Its forms are inspired by elegant, handwritten messages on postcards from the early 20th century.

It's in the representation of rhythmical delights that both subject matters geminate. Both forms feature repetition of shapes and forms found in the exact, rigid quadforms of the RAM and rhythmical delights of the elegant, ascenders and descenders of the handwriting.

The RAM and handwriting contrast and compare in various symbolic and formal ways, thus demonstrating the powerful range and capabilities of mankind to create language.
