TONGUE
Visual arts and language are both abstractions of reality. Both can evoke similar sensations in vastly different ways. Here, I explore how the two can entwine, with the written word helping to sculpt part of a visual artwork, and the thoughts and sounds themselves altered by their complex relationship with the physical world.
I find that by having multiple forms of expression interacting simultaneously, allowing the brain to function visually, sonically, rationally, irrationally, and sculpturally within one physical space, a higher level of catharsis can be reached.
