Realizing the importance of communication and utilizing it effectively are two very different things, and expressing what I feel has always been a challenge. With The Binary Series, my goal is to explore my ability to communicate aesthetically through color, shape and form, while at the same time incorporate messages that are inherently mine, which the viewer may or may not notice.
I’ve done this by creating patterns of images, presented in “positive” and “negative” form (to represent ones and zeroes), and placing them in a structured layout to spell messages using an abbreviated form of Binary Code (ASCII). Each time someone looks at these pictures, a dialogue begins. The viewer might not understand what I’m saying; maybe because they can’t read the code, or because they don’t like the work, or they might walk right by it and not give it a second thought.
These images delve into some of the tacit, secondary, and cryptic elements of everyday speech, and thus might serve as metaphors for the complexity of everyday conversation.
