Chapter S Project 26 Rosa Gravino Argentina

[cheryl penn]

Received yesterday 3th February, Rosa's excavated S. S for secret signs, signals beyond this world.  S bound in gauze.

Snakes on ancient vessels, symbols, clandestine meaning, enigmatic script.

The journey of S goes further, spreading its influence to Egypt. Or did it begin there, this mysterious letter?

Love it!

Este trabajo es el resultado de un apasionante recorrido.

De las múltiples maneras de representar la letra S,
fui siguiendo las huellas de su misteriosa forma serpenteante.
Entre los infinitos velos que cubren la historia y sus secretos,
intenté vislumbrar el esquema de su metamorfosis para poder llegar al orígen.

Asi supe que su forma inicial era de una simplicidad absoluta
y era a fin de facilitar la comunicación entre personas de distintas culturas.

This is what I HOPE is a reasonable English translation of Rosa'a explanation:

This work is the result of an exciting one traveled through S. 

Of the multiple ways to represent the letter S, I was continuing the tracks of its mysterious winding form.  Among the infinite veils that cover its history and their secrets, I tried to glimpse the plan of their metamorphosis to be able to arrive at the origin. 

I knew that their initial form was of an absolute simplicity and was in order to facilitate the communication among people of different cultures.

Rosa -- all the way from Argentina, your booklet has had quite a voyage to the US. But it has arrived at my mailbox, and I love it very much! Thank you -- beautiful work!
