For my text works, I have struggled to discuss them in context of visual art because they are more in the trajectory of prose, poetry, and the liberal arts. The use of visual elements are not to create discussion on text as art but rather to emphasize the meaning of the prose and poetry.
The monument and object works function more in the space of sculpture and installation art. Their concern of what is precious links them to my text works. However, the monument and object works also address the issues of time and space, the inseparable two. These works have a physical presence that questions and confronts while the text works use the space of the brain to confront and question the viewer.
Pictured is a text work titled Reflection. This prose resulted from reflecting while staring at mausoleums reflections in the body of water adjacent to Wade Chapel in Lake View Cemetery. Lake View Cemetery is a Victorian cemetery located in Cleveland, Ohio. It is the home of the Garfield Monument and Rockefeller monument.
