Work from my Bachelor of Fine Art thesis show
___________________________ Here I used pencils and rubberbands to spell out "Stress" through binary code. The pencils and rubberbands are ceramic. Detail Shot ___________________________ 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. Its 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. |

I guess I kind of read both. I didn't think of the "literal symbol of stress", but I did think about how a rubber band can be stretched and manipulated, and that when you do too much, it breaks...kind of like people.
But I was more focused on the "office supplies" idea, just more in terms of "school supplies" since this was a BFA show. I then thought about how I don't particularly remember myself using rubber bands in university, thus my question about how it related to your theme.
Thank you for answering!
