“The writer and visual artist Kai Lossgott inserts himself into the cellulose of the leaf in a search to find a connection to the body as a map of nerves, a formation of flowing veins, a passage for an essential life force.  The body is as much a channel of life and spirit as the leaf is a processor for the essential nutrients and oxygen the earth depends on.  In his work, Lossgott searches for metaphors to decode the existence of the self in an estranged world.  The method of erasure remains as consequence of having searched for the most appropriate word or line to link into the network. 
It is as artists that we fumble and fall to become a mirror of the world around us.  It is also in this continual erasure that the nearly Nietzschean continuity of our falling becomes exactly the grace to continually stand up again. Kai Lossgott provides the link to bio-centeredness that reveals awe for the regenerative force of life: life in its recovery after erasure is an empowering statement for the times we live in.”
