Rocktown Scrolls, The Song of Songs I, 23” by 29”, 2006Text:
The Song of Songs
/ / / I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys
/ / / For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;
The flowers appear on the earth;
the time of the singing of birds is come
/ / and the voice of the turtle is heard

Descriptions & Essays
The Rocktown Scrolls are named after the Pennsylvania coalfield “patch” where I grew up dreaming wondrous dreams while sliding down the ash-dumps. They present colorful pen & ink drawings accompanied with passages selected from a wide range of literature and culture. The passages are written with algorithmically generated glyphs clothing the alphabet with a unique set of linear forms. These coded glyph forms invite us to ponder the nature of language while the larger colored forms may be savored as cyberflowers floating in unbounded space." RV, Minneapolis 2006.
