A beginning, with malapropism. That slippage between what is said and what is meant.
The aural miscue. Words passing between the sacred and the profane.
Even grammar has a soul. So says Leonora Carrington.*
Malapropism is a soul trigger; it makes me think about God.

A continuing, with light. Of cloudy edges, opaque surfaces, reflections, projections.
Half done, undone.
Here and there. Here to there.

Exploring the entanglement of faith-making and art practice, this expanded drawing project presents a series of meditations, a thinking-through-drawing. I am interested in the generative potential of drawing (verb). Where personal stories and literary threads coalesce with matters of faith, and where material considerations reflect thematic concerns of shifting states and unfixedness.
