DISAMBIGUATION

Marble     24”W x 25”H x 10”D

Many words began their existence with a meaning that tells a story or envisions creative connections. Original cultures wove these subjective tapestries into deeply emotional and metaphysical sagas full of meaning and moral. Presently, amidst the chaos of our communications with each other there is an inherent tendency and linguistic bias to ambiguity. The complexity and subjectivity of words and phrases and the inferences and goals of our communication and actions all work to undermine the clarity of objective reality. Stripped from emotional response and deceptive intentions, we find authentic meaning through clarity as an essential reality that allows us to communicate fully. Nature speaks clearly even if we do not hear what is so often self evident.
