Word Whirled: I Obsess

Okay, okay, I can't stop thinking, NYFA NYFA NYFA. So I tracked down what I sent them. Well, I found the list of poems and my artist's statement. Did I really write this? I sound so clever. I need to thank Mendi for helping me with the titles of the poems and Arisa for helping me with the artist statement.


Artist’s Statement

I explore language/s, the time/space continuum, and how the shift of a moment can lead to revelation or implosion. In my work, I engage moments where both personal and public history (time) meet the body and matter (space). In proxy, unrequited love consumes the landscape from North Africa to the Americas and language burns away to its most essential, dense elements. The repetition of the p mimics "pi", infinitely expanding finite circumference and circumstance.
