Dorfman, Geoffrey ; Michael Sickler — Quantapolis

Trenton, NJ, Dorfman Jones Fine Art, 2025. Hardcover. Green cloth boards with gilt debossed text and tipped in color illustration. 49 pp. Color illustrations and poetry. "If one speaks purely for the sake of speaking, one expresses the most splendid, the most original truths. But if a person wishes to speak of some particular thing, that capricious creature language, has him say the most ridiculous and muddle-headed of stuff. Which explains the hatred some serious people have for language. They see its mischievousness, but they don't see that contemptible chatter is the infinitely serious side of language. If only one could have people understand that what applies to mathematical formulas applies to language, too. They form a world apart, they play with each other, expressing only their own prodigious nature, which is precisely why they are so expressive - precisely why the strange play of relationships between things finds its reflection in them.." - Novalis, from introduction.
