Monomers is a series of screen prints on paper that continues my exploration of invented language, pattern, and asemic writing. Drawing from the same geometric script developed for the quilt of glyphs series, the prints isolate each symbol as a discrete visual unit: a sign, a fragment, a possible building block of meaning.

The title refers to monomers, the molecular units that may join together to form larger chains. Here, the symbols remain visually unlinked. They do not connect across the page in the manner of a continuous cursive script. Instead, they appear as separate glyphs, suspended between alphabet, ornament, and code. The works invite attention to the smallest units from which language, memory, and communication may be constructed. Their potential relation is left unresolved.

Because this invented language is not spoken, the viewer cannot know whether the symbols would remain separate in sound or combine into words, phrases, or chains of meaning. The work therefore asks where language begins: in the written mark, in the voice, in repetition, or in the imagination of the view. Transferred from textile to print, the pattern starts to merge through the use of color and the strokes of paint.
