The language “drawings” are texts made with a manual typewriter on long rolls of paper. As a kind of spontaneous “drawing practice” the words on these scrolls are free to follow one another according to an evolving set of principles including sound, shape, semantics, syntax, repetition, punning, play and association. ÝConceptual structures appear and disappear. Narrative and rhetorical argument are avoided and fragmented. These are intended to be texts without result, the residue of a practice that takes place unobserved: daily, meditative, noninstrumental. Read out loud they become an experiment in ambient language, a field of senses and sounds that slip in and out of consciousness, alternately instigating and interrupting trains of thought.
