ROBERT SAYWITZ 'SUSPENDED BELIEFS'

This ongoing series of visual poems uses using ink, collage, and an antique manual typewriter on paper to explore the landscape where the waking life interacts with the unconscious. They investigate the fallacy that one can suspend the trauma of their waking lives and seek refuge in their sleep. Highly personal, the series deals with the layered and idiosyncratic nature of storytelling and memory—and their roles within family relationships.
