The relationship between image and text is something that I've been playing with in my art for a while- either in drawings, paintings, or my comic Dragon and Goat (check them out everyday in the Daily Illini).
I like to use language plays of signifiers and signs (be they pictures or words) for "unearthing new questions and constructing new answers."
The article "Language of Dreams" brought up the rebus, "a form of expression employing both words nd pictures." We talked a lot of this in my class "Word and Image in Chinese Art" since the Chinese have long history of word-image play via rebuses.
