While drawing on location throughout the city of Ljubljana, Slovenia, I invited passersby to write words in their native languages for the objects in my drawings. The annotated images became a document of the different languages spoken in those areas of the city at the time, as well as a translation between those languages and the images depicted. The resulting pages were hand-bound into a glossary/guide to the city entitled Ljubljanski slikovni slovar / Visual Glossary of Ljubljana. This book was created as part of the project Tongue: Jezik (2003), a collaboration with artist Peter Walsh for Gallery P74 in Slovenia.

Thank you to all the participants in this project.
