Dialogue For Two - 2011

Sculpture: screenprinted and sewn muslin, reversible bag, 14.25" x 12.25"

The series refers to and draws from the poem "Dialogue for Two" by Augusto de Campos and Decio Pignatari. I was drawn to the poem's various descriptions of the senses and the way in which the words and descriptions "fold in on themselves." The screenprinted posters I have designed feature a quote from the poem, as well as original poetry that I have written in response. The composition of the words in each poster attempts to reflect the structure of that which it describes.

Exhibited as part of the "Telefon Sem Fio: Word Things of Augusto de Campos" exhibition, curated by Michelle Levy and Telephone Journal at the EFA Project Space, New York, NY, November-December 2011.
