Description
Sarah Hulsey is a visual artist whose work draws on linguistics: “… Galileo compared the act of understanding the universe to reading a book in the language of mathematics… This artist’s book uses the vehicle of translation—between languages, of text to image, and across domains of language—to illuminate the mathematics and science of linguistics underlying Galileo’s text. Illustrations representing the sounds, syntax, and logic alternate between Italian and English, providing a route through the arguments of the text.” From the artist’s website, December 2023.
