The Myth of the Phrasemaker’s Parrot is a story and collection of drawings and small objects that work together to propose a world in which everything is material, repetition is generative, sensitivity is critical, and matter is active.

In a world where everything is everything, and everything is significant, all research becomes apophenia, connectivity becomes the governing principle of nature, and empathy becomes information.
