The ‘Braille’ works were created for the group exhibition ‘Cracking Nutshells’ at DZINE Gallery in San Francisco.  Conceptually, ‘Braille’ is about deconstruction and reconstruction.  Each piece in the 12 part series reflects the deconstruction and the reconstruction of the written text word, its conversion to braille, and how we as the viewer interpret this form of communication.  

As an extension of my current body of text based works utilizing a variety of font forms and languages to articulate the power of the word, ‘Braille’ was created as a means to encourage individuals to reconsider how we experience art and language through touch, instead of sight. By encouraging individuals to interact with the works by touching them,  ‘Braille’ also acts as a deconstruction of traditional art world ‘rules’.
