Where is the intersection between concept and material? One of a number of answers is on paper.
Paper has been used to record our thoughts for nearly two millennia, first seen in China around the 2nd century CE. In that time paper has served a heavily influential role in the storage, transference and manifestation of thought. Paper receives our most mundane lists and notes to our most profound thoughts, stories, and histories.
In this body of work Maxwell looks at paper as the catalyst and meeting point between material and conceptual worlds. The letters and symbols we use to communicate are like little windows; opening onto the fragmented associations we share with each other. Through the layering of synonymous words or simply the letters within a single word Maxwell looks at the act of reading as an access point to the fallibility and beauty of communication.
