    Ken Schles: … In one sense we’re all translators living in that “utmost untransparent darkness” (quoting Joao Guimaraes Rosa). And it’s our special responsibility to illuminate the world for ourselves, yes: because we need to know and experience the world first to understand it. but more importantly: We need to translate it for each other, to help each other stumble though it. Maybe even to be sometimes amazed by it.

    Ken Schles: Image and text are two ways to probe existence. They operate differently and inform each other in rich and profound ways, but the two never meet except in a kind of long-distance dialogue. It’s a dance I’m entranced with, but I can’t say I understand it.
