in literature, form is created in our minds by words we read.  in painting and drawing form is created on a flat surface by images or characters with paint and ink  words are created by the artist with layers upon layers of written text - feelings and ideas translated into recognizable forms that are rendered unrecognizable. all words (so far, 50 words exist) are made with ink on paper, mounted on wooden frames and lit from both front and back.
