Brittain works alongside his materials and guides them to enunciate their own inherent, meaning-laden properties. Lacking a standard operating procedure or prioritized material, the results of his practice are behavioral situations in which the viewer draws connections between the elements and together they performs the function of a poet, each becoming an element of a larger prose.
