Language is uniquely malleable and constantly reinvented. Artists find new ways of transforming words into art; pairing words with images, playing with the meaning of words, annotating, redacting, creating comic interjections or reducing to the component parts a letter at a time. By blending visual, physical, literary, and poetic elements, these artworks create a rich, interdisciplinary experience that broadens the scope of traditional art forms.
