Reading Space, Seeing Space
Wind and Water, 200 x 140 cm, stamp print and painting with ink on Chinese paper, 2005
Word-Image
If written images are not only read as text but seen and emphasised as colours and forms, then in the eye of the observer the text changes into an image. "Rational reading" shifts to "irrational seeing". Can both forms of perception exist simultaneously? Levels of content and form interact and move closer or recede into the distance alternately. The images’ open structures that can be expanded infinitely meet a limited system of characters that in the case of a foreign language again transform into a world of images. Endless subjective associations develop between language and image.
