Kate Ladd
Acrylic and Mixed Media Collage
The first thing I thought about in reading Kate Ladd's title, "Drowning in Word" is that music can take the place of words. Yet as I looked closely in the collage there are pages from old songbooks as well as from an old dictionary mixed in among, a full-overly full--brain, and pictures of philosophers and so much more. The drowning may be from too much thinking and I can certainly understand the perils in that. What a great reminder to slow down, to parse down words and thinking to what one really wants to say or peruse, and even to encourage music to it's jazzy no-word flittings. From one avid reader and music lover to another, Kate, I see that spacious silence and dreamy nothingness is calling.
