John Court's art is to make systematic drawings of the cognitive process using the outline shape of words. The words he uses are randomly taken from his own statements about his art practice. But from this apparently random and deconstructive nature of production John Court reverses ideas of linguistic structuralism to create a system which abides to a different set of rules; the idea that words can also be visualised to create a non verbal schema. In effect John Court's work turns the mirror onto dyslexia so that when we are confronted by word images we are the ones who feel the discomfort of non understanding - the reversal being that a verbal explanation is inadequate.
