Across these visual planes, Tillers has inscribed linguistic landscapes: place names, evocative words and fragments of text are combined to create spatialised, concrete poems. Like an urtext, words are embedded in the terrain of Tillers' canvasboards; language is conceived as the original landscape, inseparable from the visual.
