“These works examine the relationship between the visual elements and literary devices at play and emphasize the correlation between meaning and metaphor.  They were selected based on three criteria: the approach to craft tradition and the conceptual motivation, the source of the content, and the materiality of the language.  The purpose is to trace the heritage of these components back to the artist’s overall practice, most of them working with familiar forms, and to question the ways in which the information is being transmitted and consumed”
