Haiga is a unique genre of art, which began in Japan, combining painting, poetry (haiku), and calligraphy. It appears as an intimate, small painting made for a page of an album, a sketch made on a fan that you can give to a friend, or a painting made on a very small piece of paper that you can present to a dear person. Haiga is like a musical miniature: an impromptu or a nocturne of Chopin.

This multimedia event and discussion, is part of a larger three-part exhibition, Mot Juste, and seeks to explore the linguistic turn art has taken since the 1960s when language became a primary material for artists in such movements as Pop, Fluxus, Minimalism and Conceptualism. At the same time that artists began exploring language as medium, a new appreciation of the materiality of language fueled unparalleled experimentation in literature and poetry.
This exhibition touches on developments in my work over a span of 25 years. It is not a retrospective in the usual sense of the word because most of the work was completed in the last three years, and I continue to produce art, sometimes reconfiguring earlier compositions. Time takes on a meaning that differs from standard intervals. Tenses constantly shift.
