eilish briscoe: maybe (copyright © eilish briscoe, 2024)
yesterday i happily stumbled across this beautiful work by eilish briscoe. after experiencing a stroke at the age of 25, briscoe created a typeface to document the process of learning to write again. her exhibition, i don’t have the words is opening on aug 7, 2025 at art practice in london, uk.

my brother’s book, all the quiet hours, arrived in the mail today. there is so much to say about it. regarding the title, danny says:
“...it captures the feeling of not being able to capture a feeling. it’s an ode to elusiveness, a tale of the tacit. it has something to do with what robert musil called “the hovering life,” sensations, associations, and half-remembered memories that cannot be explicitly conveyed.
the quiet hours might be when television networks used to sign off for the night. or maybe they’re the little in-between moments in friendship, almost imperceptible accumulated nothings that paradoxically add up to something.”
reading this makes me feel like we speak to each other through our work and during times when speaking is not possible. i am so proud of him.

a strange but timely religious gift in my mailbox? strange because it arrived the morning my brain exploded from jjjjjerome ellis’ live performances at the music gallery this week.

the clearing
jjjjjerome ellis: the contradiction of stuttering is that i am both speaking and not speaking. mid-sentence i block on a word. sound stops coming from my mouth but i haven't reached the end of my thought. the current of my speech has just gone underground.
oof. this performance at the music gallery changed me.

my friend kate miller released an audiovisual poem about being a hard of hearing parent today. in their work, there are a lot of ways someone can take your child, they tell the story of their child taking a hearing test because they were at risk for congenital hearing loss. their child passed the test, and kate felt both relief and defeat. relief because they want their child to be healthy and defeat because they feel, or felt, their hearing differences would make them feel far away from eachother.
kate’s articulation of distance is profound to me. it touched on something i have felt in relation to family and friends since finding out i had anomia.
