Codes in Knots
A suspended series of carved wooden knots, each form standing in for a word — verb or noun — in an invented notation system built from knot shapes rather than characters. The project draws a direct line to khipu and other precolonial textile-based recording systems, translating their logic of knotted encoding into a contemporary sculptural alphabet. Shown in the exhibition "Digital Decoding: Digitality as Subject and Method" at Silent Green Kunstquartier, Berlin.
