NEOLOGISMS

(project in progress)


NEOLOGISMS

A site-responsive installation in the Dodd’s Plaza Gallery inspired by the New York Times investigation into the disappearance of certain words from federal language. Addressing our cultural and political moment the act of censorship is transformed into an opportunity to invent an entirely new vocabulary.

Through simple rearrangement of letters, these banned terms are remade into “neologisms.”
The installation references Illustrator and InDesign interfaces, using text boxes, highlighting,
and overflow indicators to foreground how language can be manipulated, transformed, and reimagined.
