Where do vision and concept converge? I have a concept of what I really want to convey. It seems always to emerge from the loud proliferation of news. It permeates our very existence our air, our daily thoughts and in turn our very being. Since I’m a news junky, I feel compelled to amplify this in Tongues, so to speak; weave it together; torch the edges and wax the surfaces; in effect to preserve these international stories that seem to be inherent in our varied belief systems. Torching the edges in protest and weaving together texts in foreign languages, the many versions of reality are presented and here I can build a case for diverging views all woven together. The links are intentional and reveal sides of personal stories in many languages. The narratives are is a kind of chart of the evolving world views.
