textworks

A series of ideas for new text works. I'm a bit tired of being romantic and allusive and want to make some works which are direct and concrete. I realise words can't say everything, but I think there are subjects around which the use of language has been used to hide or veil the real meaning of 'words'. So I'm thinking of a series textworks which tap into differing discourses, but with the nature of the linguistic beast are in some fashion interlinked.

The idea that 'language speaks thorugh us' is something I'd like to explore by appropriating pieces of text and letting it do its stuff.
