‘Idle/Interludes’ draws inspiration from the avant-garde experiments of 20th-century visual and concrete poetry, where the visual arrangement of text played an integral part in the poem’s meaning. Words transformed into shapes, with their physical presence on the page becoming as significant as their semantic content.
The genesis of 'Idle/Interludes' began with my typewriter experiments. These early works sparked a deeper fascination with glyph compositions. I then reproduced the work using code to delve into dichotomous reflections. Open-source typewriter fonts, such as ‘Patrician’ and ‘Oliver Printype,’ became my building blocks.
As the forms evolved, so did the phrases, mirroring the shapes. This iterative process—where brief, often binary or resonant phrases nest within a sea of glyphs—led to the continual addition and subtraction of patterns, letters, and symbols. Sometimes, these phrases stemmed from my personal experiences or the serendipity of phonetically or phonologically similar words. The idea lent itself well to generative art because of the malleability of language.
The concept of visual poetry is especially powerful within the context of a book. While I’ve avoided assigning traits to distinguish mints, the one feature enabled is the book's title, derived from the user's address. All of a user's mints will share this title, allowing the “book” to be viewed collectively by clicking on this feature.
I am deeply fascinated by the tangible manifestations of my work and it consistently revolves around plottability, with the series designed to embody this principle. Minting a certain number of works automatically redeems a plot (free shipping).
- Mint 25 works to receive a signed A4 plot (8.3in x 11.7in)
- Mint 36 works to receive a signed A3 plot (11.7in x 16.5in)
- Mint 100 works to receive a small book of 10 plots
