"The Spell of the Sensuous" Four!

"Saussure described the structure of any language as a thoroughly interdependent matrix, a webwork wherein each term has meaning only by virtue of its relation to other terms within the system. In English for example, for instance, the sounded word "red" draws its precise meaning from its situation in a network of like-sounding terms, such as "orange", "yellow", "purple",
"brown", as well as from its participation in a still wider nexus of related terms...each of which holds significance only in relation to a constellation of still other words, expanding thus outward to every term within the language."

So overall most of my response was directly related to this quote. I chose to create a physical web to represent the web of languages. Instead of using a clear fixture I purposely chose to use the black tape to represent the relationship between terms in a system. I suppose in a way this piece is an illustration of this quote. 

In another way though I think it also represents how all of the different languages are connected together as well. Or on an even bigger squale, how all human are connected by language. It failed to mention sign language, but it did briefly get into body language and gestures Humans all know how to communicate with a formal language, they will create one if one doesn't exist, or learn a new one fairly quickly through adaption, and I find that super fascinating. It connects us all in this giant web of sorts.
