About the Work

his piece is part of a series of works based on Semantic Primes. Semantic Primes being words that exist throughout all languages, that are at their core the simplest form of the concept that they represent and that usually can only be defined in relation to each other. The three words depicted on this piece all relate to the concept of speech. Despite no intention of the grouping to have meaning, when these words are placed together a mythic or profound truth appears – say. words. true. It seems like it means something because the words themselves are so simple; yet, when you think more deeply about the words the saying becomes even more abstract and unclear. This series is one of the manifestations of these primes. Lazerwitz chose to move from text to textiles because textere, the root of both words, means to weave, so by putting these words in a textile form it is bringing the concept back to its roots.
