Artist Statement
Zero is and Being are equally intoxicating to philosophers. They are both nothingness and infinity. The abyss and everything. Their power is undeniably felt even as it resides in the Unknown.
This piece comes from my manuscript, an unnarrated memoir. This memoir is the result of my attempt to write a dissertation in Western Philosophy outside academic language. Words as visual art augment what words can show us. When this piece unfurled itself, I was able to feel what I had been trying to explain. No more explanation needed.
This piece is produced by inking (and drying) each letter individually using silk screens containing all the symbols from my old Smith&Corona typewriter, enlarged several times over. I do consider this art to be an ode to type and paper as well as to the unimaginable wonderment of our existence.
