The Stanza Series proceeded out of a desire to suggest the substance of language without actually using letters or numerical forms while simultaneously alluding to them. The Italian word "stanza" means "room" and there are a host of these rooms here suggesting events as miraculous as the everyday. The Spirit's presence among us "speaks" through the breath of daily patterns and it is a language we hear but find difficulty to parse: it is entirely abstract and entirely concrete, wholly borne of the spirit and of the flesh, the assurance of the comforter and the mighty wind reminding us that God is indeed present.
