Small Sculptural Statements is a long, narrow machine for language: one line per page, edited in public—cross-outs, substitutions, corrections left visible like scars on the sentence. Compiled from Garnet’s “small sculptural statements” produced between 2004 and 2020, the book treats text as a material practice: not literature as narration, but writing as object-making. Inside, Garnet alternates authored sequences with acts of quoting and re-writing—folding Sigmund Freud and Immanuel Kant into a contemporary poetics of refusal, drift, and dry wit—until theory becomes street signage and sculpture becomes a sentence you can carry.
