My current work is looking at the question- how can I use clothing as text and text as clothing?  This has come about after a few projects where I was looking at the form of a bow tie and exploring it's use as a metaphor for summarizing what something is "about"..."wrapping something up into a nice presentable image or product". I'm interested in extending this comparison between an article of clothing to the defining power of language beyond just bowties and beyond recognizable forms in general to see what language I can create.

tied to a type
fixed with a knot
call me by name
and I'll show you my gift
with a bow
and a vowel

what I am (called)
will holditalltogether
