This series of works oscillates around the question if life is a still and silent running river instead of the chaos it’s described as. Is the description the chaos? Is the problem the imperfect description language has for everything in life? Why shouldn`t right be left or the bottom not be above? If we see language just as an imperfect way to picture reality we can change the meaning of words completely without loosing understandability.
Most of the time we don’t understand anyway what others say and normaly mean the opposite of what we say.
From Steve MacLallans point of view language is just an agreement he doesn’t agree to. Maybe it’s part of his scottish rebellious streak. Grown up in a country with a language nobody understands (at least in it’s spoken form) and living now in country with a language he doesn’t understand words make no more sense to him. So why not have your own personal discription for what you see, hear and feel? To Steve MacLallan understandibility is overrated anyway.
