MY BOYFRIEND TOLD ME THAT I WROTE POEMS NOBODY CAN READ


This body of work brings together poetic automatism, visual poetry, and performance through monotype prints—an inherently unrepeatable technique that allows for only a single impression. I use this process to create improvised, unedited texts directly in the act of printing, without the possibility of revision or control. Writing becomes an event: a stream of thoughts and associations unfolding in real time. The works are often displayed to reveal both sides, framing the print as both a linguistic structure and a bodily trace of the act of writing.
