Afterrimages
Overview
The language graphics of 'Afterrimages' lay claim to the fragility--the gift, the terror, and the whimsy--of the remnant that all images are. Their playful nature is born of the conviction that the present tense--tense, tensile with immanent futurity--must extend itself toward the unintelligible and unknown. This frontier where the image hovers on the edge of its own transfiguration, the threshold where poetry can take place.
