***************

Language has often been included in visual art.  Artists use titles as a
way to suggest what they are thinking about.  Some artists have also built
powerful visual vocabularies using language as a basic visual component
within the work.  Yet the visual and verbal languages are profoundly
different from each other.  How do they affect each other? The work
gathered together for this exhibition explores how two distinct languages
intersect in the visual arena.  Words bend color and form yet space within
these 2-dimensional works also bends our wordy language. The results are as
light as air, and as heavy as air most certainly is.
