I’m at a loss for words...everything was not said.

hydrocal, rubber balls
I have been challenged by languages all my life, living in many different countries. This is a piece about those challenges and new ways of communication. The rubber balls spell 'I'm at a loss for words…' and the shadow cast by them spells 'everything was not said' in the Braille alphabet.
Language is a labyrinth, its permutations endless: this is partly the pleasure of words. The complexity of language, its ability to both inform and confound us, is part of its continuing appeal to me. This work embraces language’s more permeable state: its elasticity, its penchant for questions, subtexts and double meanings; it explores language’s limits and limitations.
