Perceptual Inferences Series
Installation view of the sculptural vitrine 'Making of a ____' and the cyanotype series 'Configurations & Coding' on the wall behind. The two works are conceptually linked and explore how we comprehend and question beings that defy taxonomic categorization.
The sculptural work Making of a ____ features the blue-boned skeletal remnants of an unknowable being on display. These bone-like porcelain pieces are organized in a logical progression of morphologies, mimicking the austere configurations seen in forensic anthropology, with occasional vignettes suggesting how the pieces might fit together.
The cyanotype series, 'Configurations & Coding,' is a crowdsourced visual databank that photo-documents others' attempts at meaning-making. Using the bone-like objects from 'Making of a ____,' these compositions record intuitive arrangements created by participants, collectively exploring the patterns and relationships of the pieces and indicating outwardly how the bones interact
