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.
