Retired Script

$375.00

16” x 9.5” x 2”

In Retired Script, a semicircle of typewriter arms recalls the rhythm of lost language—mechanical, musical, and deeply human. Framed in weathered pigment and disintegrating script, the piece invites viewers to consider the technologies that carry our words and the ways those words persist, distort, or vanish.

Note: This piece is on display at Stier Family Gallery, Cape Elizabeth, ME and is available for purchase on this website. It can be picked up or shipped to you at the conclusion of the exhibition on January 31st.

A deconstructed typewriter, its curved arms like a fossilized fan of ideas, rests below a batik-textured panel suspended in a sea of fragmented notation and distressed pigment. This piece explores the residue of language—mechanical, emotional, and gestural—as it fades into memory, abstraction, and silence. The ghost of communication hovers just beneath the surface.
