Morphemes are by definition the rudimentary building blocks of language. They find their strength in the early utterances of our ancestors. Stacked like bricks and cast in concrete, the letters form words which mutely express formal relationships that bear no relationship to their spoken or written counterparts. Each sculpture is literally a four letter word stacked end to end. This sculpture series grew out of a conversation with Jessica Stockholder about the nature of language as an aesthetic artifact. The question was posed as to whether Quadromorphemes were about the ‘form ’or were they about the ‘text’. This ‘TEXT’ sculpture below currently resides in the private collection of William Drenttel and Jessica Helfand.
