@ It Looks Like It's Open Studio
13 E Tulane Ave.
Romanian, German and English are entwined in my head and my history. The words in the works are taken form these three languages. All of the words present are connectors, usually used to link words or phrases. While the languages themselves are links to larger cultures, the cursive script signifies the personal. The works evoke the contortions, fusions and confusions of experience. Within the works there is no hierarchy. Sometimes they are legible and sometimes hardly discernible. Letters and words emerge and disappear.
