Allyson Strafella: Hillsdale
I have been drawing with a typewriter for over 34 years. During that time, I have developed marks that are my visual language: a drawing language 鈥榳ritten鈥� by type, and a written language drawn as mark and form.
I began drawing out of the need to communicate, to find my own language; I was looking for a way to record my thoughts and ideas. I began writing with a typewriter, a tool that could keep up with my thoughts. However, I employed no rules of the written language: no capitalization, no punctuation, no paragraphs. The writing slowly transformed-the words left the page and what remained has become my language: drawing.
