Description

Work from my Bachelor of Fine Art thesis show

___________________________

Here I used locks and keys to spell out "Privacy" through binary code. The locks and keys are ceramic, painted with craft and spray paint.

In this line of work, using everyday objects as text, I wrote out concepts which I have struggled to grasp in binary code. I chose binary code because of its simple yet complex characteristics. In binary code, you either have a “1” or a “0”. It’s simply one or the other. However, when put together in a sequence they can represent characters which form words used for communication. Everything input into a computer has to be filtered through binary code. I compared this to the way people think. Everything I feel is brought into me through a language that I understand. The objects I choose may or may not make sense to everyone because it is the mental connection I make when I relate difficult concepts to my tangible, physical world. The viewer may be able to draw the same connections I do, or to their own ideas. These pieces also work as hieroglyphs in that sense, giving this body of work a bilingual quality that I enjoy.

have you done research about binary sculptures before you get into the series? I see you did a lot work in organic form instead. What made you want to shift into binary?
