riverrun
Hanging Giclée prints, 12-20 feet in length. The text on the banners comprises over 40 different words that Joyce used to convey: river, flow, life. Of all the linguistic themes Joyce used in Finnegans Wake, for me the the Dublin river Liffey and the word “riverrun” (the word that is both the beginning and the ending of the book) helped me navigate the polysemy induced illiteracy and enter the the flow/flux of language.
