The system of language can be broken into written meaning and verbal expression. We use these constructs to communicate, but when the definitions are conditional and lingual articulation is confined, the system becomes insufficient. The two works, Squeak and Fuzzy Logic, are built upon these discrepancies. Squeak attempts to translate chance sound into onomatopoeia and visualize the limitations of these efforts. Fuzzy Logic tries to examine the malleability of synonyms and their inherent logic. Both works struggle to assign physical form to metaphysical content by questioning language’s concrete and abstract nature.
