During my residency at the ISCP, I explored how to represent disfluent speech in painting. There is much talk about painting as a language,
but this has always puzzled me, as I often experience painting as a somatic activity—more akin to nonverbal vocalizations or neologistic speech. If the brush is analogous to my speech apparatus (vocal cords, larynx, lungs, tongue, etc.), then the paint becomes my voice,
and the marks I leave on the canvas are the sounds I produce. The idea is to approach stuttering not as an impediment,
but as a creative force—one that can open up unexpected possibilities, much like painting techniques driven by chance and the subconscious.
