An examination of a specific network of poetics from the realm of language-image-sound relations

It is my intention in this paper to examine the network of poetic relations which I explore in my art work. This document is divided into two main sections: part one deals with a number of art historical foci in regard to language, image, and sound relations. Part two focuses on selected video works of mine which synthesize aspects of this art historical data. In both sections a set of ideas intrinsic to the work will be defined. Language, image and sound elements in my work are not dealt with in a hierarchical manner. Since these elements appear simultaneously in the video work, the following writing will approach them in a way which examines how they function individually as well as in relation to each other. It is the artist's intention to create a resonant poetic network through the dynamic interaction of language, image and sound elements.
