About the Encoded Series
This series of stitched felted wool works combines man-made codes with organic materials and formations to explore how human, cultural, and natural wisdoms can hide in plain sight. The pieces transform texts gleaned from diverse sources and eras into symbols, translating them first into code, then into color before giving them final form.
