Turned by the model's naked foot, a single wing, the scattering vision of fish, ...'The Uncoded World' innovates us within a vast body of erotic visibility. Exquisite and far-reaching in its scholarship, this is a must read for any artist, any sign-maker, seeking a more generous optic from which to understand and communicate the inchoate sense of existence that underwrites aesthetic feeling and meaning. (Anne West, Adjunct Faculty in Graduate Studies Rhode Island School of Design) Vivian Darroch-Lozowski's ontological journey to and from the uncoded world leaves a trail of vivid experiential footprints and fresh conceptual cairns that display how personal wanderings can foster surrender to the primacy of the knowing body, the givens of four-dimensional space-time, and our quest to be whole. Her work advances our understanding of how hermeneutics, semiotics, phenomenology, and interpretive studies can move us beyond postmodernism. She helps us 'to see,' by daring 'to be'. (David Rehorick, Professor of Sociology University of New Brunswick, Canada) This extraordinary and beautiful book (re-)moves the reader into the uncoded spaces between bodies of knowledge and the felt body of lived experience. Theory is re-veiled as poetry and falls away. Written on the threshold body (a wing dipped in blood, a foot dipped in paint), it demands an intense response to follow and to be wandered. I suspect that every reading of this book will be unique, a new start and a return. (Dave O'Reilly, Head of Research Educational Development, University of East London)
