- About this work
-
Jorge Méndez Blake explores the connections between literature and fine arts in his installations and drawings. The neon work Complete poems represents a collection of poetry, functioning both as a semiotic and material ‘sign’. As the artist explains: ‘I approach art as someone who is trying to write, but without writing. I make two- and three-dimensional objects that occupy the space between disciplines, where the margins of literature, art, and architecture overlap.’
