This piece represents the complex web of connections between words found in the lexicon. Each line ties together words drawn from the Oxford English Dictionary, linking those with a similar meaning, use, or history to generate a dense field of linguistic associations.

The fabric was printed during my apprenticeship at the Fabric Workshop and Museum in Philadelphia in 2012.
