il/Literate Analogues is an on-going series of works that explores the tangibility or physicality of thought, the capacity of material to index intellectual activity, the form of thinking, and the formlessness of memory. The works function in a gray area between language and being, between matter, image, and concept, sign and signified. In order to shed light on processes of representation and meaning-making, the series address contradictions between linguistic meaning and the ontological condition of the art object’s embodied meaning. This grey area is a fertile space to explore similitude and entanglement of human and non-human, where understanding is based in likenesses, echoes, and ripples, rather than divisions and separations.
