How reliable is text? When a book no longer serves its intended function, how can it continue to contain ideas? Does knowledge exist? Do we construct it, or the other way around? What happens when letter, text, or book are abstracted from their original forms? What becomes of the knowledge they contained? Working at the intersection of visual art and the written word, Thom Caraway and Kat Smith explore these questions by de- and re-constructing printed material into genre-blurring collages, prints, sculptures, and other mixed-media works.
