Art and Language can be thought of as an understanding of the subtle relationship between the immaterial and the material. This relationship enables a dialogue of two dimensions of an experience.
Through language we engage and explore our inner conscious being. Language enables us to articulate thoughts, impressions, searches, questionings, findings and memories etc. in the way we connect to the world around us as well as to the world within each one of us. Art in another situation allows the individual to explore the material world through which thoughts and explorations are processed. This understanding of the material gives a new perspective on the natural processes that are a part of the science and objectivity of a thing or matter.
Word and Image: In a sense to be able to write a word or paint an image it is not defined by the material, even though without a material you cannot write a letter or draw a picture. What can be understood here is the nature of an immaterial thought processing. The actual making of word or image even though metaphorical, ultimately tries to make connections and references towards the living material world. So one could say there is this constant exchange of ideas, thoughts and ways of perceiving the world, which emerges from a processing of the mind and conscious state of being both from the physical nature of writing a word or painting a picture towards an immaterial conceptualisation of an idea which has been written about or drawn and inferred to in the real material world.
Through this process of writing and drawing I find myself engaging into that reality that seems intangible and virtual; into a world that is constantly changing and appearing in new perspectives of seeing and experiencing the material world. The way our perceptions are affected by our emotions and memories towards a particular material or atmosphere (space), we change our mental cognitive processing to re-interpret and recognize these forms of experiences.
Actual and virtual reality exist simultaneously in connection to the way I perceive the world around me and in the way I use tools to communicate with such as the internet or the written word. Virtual reality is a conception of the world in which I find meaning with my inner self to that reality which I interact and participate in a material sense. My senses are faculties of my body that senses this objective physical reality and infers experiential thought processes as a way of becoming conscious of the material reality. In connection to this material reality my mind is simultaneously making references and associations to my inner psychological self informing me of a reality that is me, that is a makeup of a multi-faceted experiential world that is both a construct of material reality as well as that of an ephemeral, visceral and imagined reality. This assimilation of my consciousness is a construct of both physical matter as well as immaterial psychological projections of my being in a given environment; reality.
In all this what is the connections of language and Art? The art of language and indeed the art of Art itself seem to spring from this internal desire and necessity for me to bring together these multi-dimensional aspects of my experiential world. My creativity comes from the well-springs of my imaginative being to connect with the physical world. It appears that in this dialogue of finding meaning or exploring the psychological and physical I enter into a conversational impetus of discovering who I am and what is it that makes me who I am given the particularities of my location and state of mind.
