Lessons of Decal

by Sophie Seita

A decal, a copy or transfer of forms and knowledge, adheres and leaves its mark. 'Lessons of Decal' ponders these transfers, exploring writing, art-making, and the voices and artworks that guide us in reading, thinking, and being. Through personal reflections, close readings, and poetic interventions, it presents a series of passionate, playful essays that engage with Form, experimenting with language's confusing, unpredictable, and pleasurable aspects. Collectively, they advocate for nuance, curiosity, messiness, attentiveness, and pleasure, defending complexity and confusion across art and life.
