Sweetheart Come





In my other research journal I have some bits and pieces where I have been playing with repeating word forms. Here a women is dealing with her grief by writing the same two words over and over again. In my exercises  I am pushing the meaning that I can read out of the words by hand writing them in repetition.

Once you know the background to how these pages were created the word forms can't loose there meaning despite repetition. Or maybe not, even if Herzensschatzi komm is not understood and you know nothing of the backstory the image created by these repeated marks would still communicate despair.

This is the story. It's very sad;
