Artist Statement – Maggs Vibo


This piece envisions the malice of language, numbers, and symbols. How words are twisted by superstition, hatred, religion, internal dialog, or time. How repetition becomes a sort of séance or geography for other worlds. How silence is viewed as an internal and external geography. How money creates geography and extends into extraterrestrial spaces and faces.
