Sample Art from the Book

At Root is a minimalist erasure of Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot. The geometric renderings by the author function as translations from the textual into the language of shape and color. Each individual three-lined poem is loosely crafted as a haiku, which resonates with Beckett’s Godot in its fragmentariness and partiality. Every textual and visual element of At Root is in conversation with Beckett’s work about absurdity, form, and relationality.
