"...and, by the dog, gentlemen of the jury---for I must tell you the truth..." --Apology, 21e

"Art historian Eric Rosenberg, in his essay about Kaitzâs new body of work, states: "What is so exciting about Sharon Kaitzâs new work is that in letting go of the literalness of words, these paintings suggest the possibility that words and letters were, or are, forms in the world, in our cognitive fields, before and beside their status as meaning, or units thereof. What, in other words, might cognition look like if it were always formal, as well as contentive? Ho do we recognize language as extant while feeling its forms as resistant to meaning? What might it be like to have language that is natural to us, innate, and yet prior to understanding, or exclusive of it? What, in other words, would language be like if we could see it, recognize it visually as our own, but have that recognition stop short of semantics, syntax, narrative, description?"
