The Language of Sculpture, 2010

A series of works derived from illustrations in the 2002 edition of William Tucker’s book The Language of Sculpture (Thames and Hudson Ltd, first published1974). The photographic reproductions have been transformed through a process that involves scanning the images with an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) program, as used in word-processing. The program’s reading of the illustrated sculpture’s formal characteristics generates the text-based results.
