| "Language cracks; words separate from their fixed sequences, meanings pee away and names abandon their objects. In such a world no one can hear you scream. 'The Ifs of Language' collects a shattered language and gives it another possible meaning by remaking it into images.
"In one way, 'The Ifs of Language' continues what I've done in the past. I make images which are a montage of bits and pieces salvaged from popular magazines. In 'The Ifs of Language' I take the ad copy of writers working in mass circulation magazines, cut it up and rearrange it, sometimes leaving the odd word or phase as a signpost to a possible reading."
