Felted wool, Morse code

27”H x 15”W x 1”D

Part of the Encoded series, this work translates the passage below first into code, then into color, allowing the richness of the text to remain ever-present for those who seek it.

In the confrontation between the stream and the rock, the stream always wins, not through strength but by perseverance.

About the Encoded Series

This series of stitched felted wool works combines manmade 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.
