Seventy Times Language uses repetition in form to further explain ideas, objects, and concepts, as if one word was not enough. We use sequences of the same words to further intensify its meaning, or its description of what it identifies with.
Scripture is a place where words and phrases are repeated in sequence to further explain its definition or the ideas they connect with. In this body of work, I am experimenting with the placement and abstraction of text in a way that conveys information, not through legibility, but through relation to itself, or one another.
This printmaking helps shift text to image as a priority, rather than transcription. The repetitive process of carving the same stroke and printing the same block add a physicality to my work that connects my ideas to my creativity.
