The writings of Virginia Woolf, Franz Kafka, William Faulkner, James Joyce, and Immanuel Kant have inspired the recent work of Alice Attie, particularly Kafka's comment that "writing is a form of prayer." Connecting the counterpoints of writing and drawing, copying and performing, form and content, Attie's abstract drawings make tangible the images embedded in the literary texts. In this case, the work evokes the underground labyrinth described in Kafka's story "The Burrow." The artist's technique resonates with micrography, the ancient Jewish art form in which lines of miniature text create images.
