words, words, words, images, words, images, images, words as images....
Text viewed as image and as text, with content, to create new images.
Text as description. Text as a space for reflection, as a starting point for reflection.
Drawing with words and the ability of creating image.
Words as representation of the world, words as signifiers of the world. Words for changing and becoming images.
As I lose myself in thoughts of what is to become my work those are ideas that travel through my mind. I am not certain yet as to what I will do with them, however I drop them here, as they might make more sense to me.

I will post here a quote by Foucault from "The Order of Things". It is a moment of the book when he refers to language in Don Quixote, to the book and how the use of language in the book works. Many ideas might come from here.
"He takes things for what they are not, and people one for another; he cuts his friends and recognizes complete strangers; he thinks he is unmasking when, in fact, he is putting on a mask. He inverts all values and all proportions, because he is constantly under the impression that he is deciphering signs; for him, the crown makes the king."
