FRANCIS PONGE
"...his stuttering text is a bouquet of seven experimental prose note-books (sometimes constructed in verse lines), which treat, with a Wittgensteinian uncloudedness, the problem of trying to describe a bird, a carnation, a mimosa, a riverbank, a pine forest, a Provencal sky, a wasp".
ARTFORUM: December 2008.
I agree that language can be confining: one reason to look forward to reading Ponge's "Mute Objects of Expression". Francis apparently has good taste in sweaters too.
Update-
Ponges' prose reminds me so much of my process in artwork--the mulling over of interchanging words/context.Nice.
