Manual Alphabet

1999-2004

This was the third series to be inspired by the work of Jasper Johns. It began with the idea of sculptures of letters, intending to make them abstract and disconnected to language.  Not being able to divorce letters from words, I switched to the manual alphabet and ended with 26 small pieces or one large piece about language.

"The named is the mother of ten thousand things"  Lao Tsu
