Marks on a Page

Wade's lyrical linear marks are reminiscent of some foreign text. Being foreign the meaning is unknown, therefore, what remains is the recognition and appreciation of the mark itself. Actually, the aesthetic value of the mark is it's own meaning. Due to their linear nature the format of a book is an appropriate venue to exhibit them. Whether viewing the book from front to back, back to front or just skipping from here to there one is sent on a magical journey where each step adds to the anticipation and wonder of what surprise is around the next bend or corner. With growing anticipation and charm one continues the journey. Wade's book can be read/viewed again and again and the marks remain anew and fresh.
