Ok so all i need to know is if this makes sense. yes or no
With any machine, specific laws are needed to produce a functioning structure, and as with this edict there is a similar structural relationship between text and visual art that must follow determined laws of interdependence. To produce a truth-seeming vision of realty (a functioning structure) the mind produces symbols categorized as expansive narratives from shared experiences. Each narrative in its own right possesses a semiotic relationship to written and visual vocabulary, which should be thought of as nothing more than a group of signs interchangeable with real life experiences. This interchange exists as a cohesive framework allowing one symbol to substitute another. In art and in literature ‘reality’ is composed of these coded semiotic relations.
My work confronts these structural relationships and departs from the readily available patterns of literature, art, mechanics and mathematical notation. By fusing the signing systems of each of these ‘vocabularies’ a new vision of reality is expressed. It is my hope that through participation and critical analysis each work creates a new symbol to a more expansive sphere of thought.
