The word ‘text’ originates from the Latin word texere, which means ‘to weave’.

This work attempts to undo the damage that was done to the medium of language during the conceptual turn of art in the
1960s. Id est, language is now seen as a mere tool than a medium of expression and beauty. This work forces text into an object of image than an object of utility; the rematerialisation of text.

The piece on the left explores the notion that text need not be read, but felt. The weaving of the papers form a new proposition and intention behind the writing. The piece on the right explores the act of creating through erasure, to bring emphasis to certain words when a writing is constructed. It deconstructs the act of writing into key words
