In early September 2009, I met Rob Wynne (see www.robwynne.net), an American artist living in New York and had the opportunity to visit his studio in Soho, where he showed me a retrospective of his work as it evolved from the early stages of his life to the present.As a dyslexic, Wynne's work revolves around ideas of language and found defects in texts and matter. He uses a wide range of materials and works on a variety of scales and surfaces, from installations, glass text, drawings, embroidered paintings, to ceramics as well as glass sculptures. Two of his works, which particularly touched me were: his exploration of embroidered creatures with their see-through quality unveiling the entangled threads as an expression of movement and shadow, as well as his glass texts which clearly reveal the visual experience of dyslexia.
