THE CONCEPT

Dirty translations, things written down on the back of an envelope in pencil. Thinly understood gobbledegook rendered into poetry. Writing whose embedded code words down the left-hand margin are rendered into the target language with hardly anything missing. A childhood dream of a pictorial conversation with an entity, rendered into language A and translated with Google translate into language B, then rendered back into pictures with the help of a blind cartoonist - yet if that is all we have to cling to for a sacred text, cling to it we shall.
