This body of work investigates our connection to the ground below us,exploring our relation to this space through physical and written language.
a dual tongued stone mason
a factory produced vessel of information coated in the fingertips of every house in my world
a work mans penmanship written under the sole
bangs on the knee and stomach from towering men made hard through time
a liquid whose strength changes paths
stops you in yours
hold your breath and cover your face
heave and strain and open
press it from under you
a glossy globe to be held in the hand
a conversation to be filled in
a gap to be made gap less crack less smooth and purpose
carry me onto the next line and leave me there
a signpost for eternity flung into great heights and buried there
from the depth unseen
your mark leaves a passage
