TESSELATION

In this series, rather than turning man-made objects into the shapes and forms of nature, the opposite is occurring. The series approaches the themes of information and language from a different direction—here thin strips of wood are cut, broken, and assembled into large tablets of textural pattern suggesting encoded or digital information. The complex binary of these pieces is both random and orderly, leaving us to guess what encoded message has been cut into the wood.
