Squeak Carnwath meets Wosene Worke Kosrof on the wall.
Common in Ten Languages by Squeak Carnwath (2013) brings together the text, symbols, and recurring marks she has developed over five decades in the Bay Area.
The Golden State by Wosene Worke Kosrof (2024) transforms Amharic script, the alphabet of his native Ethiopia, into a richly layered composition.
Two Bay Area abstract painters, each using language to create a visual vocabulary entirely their own.
