When artists work to synthesize the gap between images and words, often it is to show how words themselves are materials, just like paint or graphite. William Carlos Williams writes, "Words are not permanent unless the graphite be scraped up and put into a tube or the ink lifted. Words progress into the ground" (Imaginations, 158). This section of the site features artists who work with words and writers who work with image, resisting distinct genre categorizations.
