Right now my art considers written language to be linked with architectural endeavors. We build bridges, we build sentences. Syntax makes it work, and so do flying buttresses. One difference: the particular is very important to me in regards to buildings, while language ever-changing, -growing, and abstract is more amazing to me. Individual written works are important and relatively immutable in much the same manner as great landmarks are. Language is used in such a fluid manner, while we do not go around building and tearing down with the same ease as shooting off emails or texts, but perhaps my feelings are also because my linguistic education is more complete than my architectural. I do get the same feeling with the structures of cathedrals. Apse, processional, greek cross, etc work very well as a visual grammar to me.
