Rosaire makes lovely experimental comics written in abstract languages for the brain to decipher.
“untranslated” is an abstract comic with asemic writing.
It’s true I’m more interested in possibilities than conclusions. Is this a fault? Refining a possibility to the brink of resolution, keeping it in a state of suspension… The infinite combinations of writing and images make for a continual renewal of language.
Born in Peru, avant-turntablist Maria Chavez currently resides in Brooklyn, New York.
