Artist statement

Some Sort of Notation takes its name from the journals of Alexander Marshack— an archaeologist who, in 1964, published a study on seemingly random, human-made notches on Palaeolithic bones. Adamant that the markings were far from meaningless, he proposed they were complex lunar observations. “It is clearly neither art nor decoration,” he’d said, “but some sort of notation.”

Interested in the overlaps between drawing, writing, looking and reading, this work considers how modern language structures – such as grids, sequences, patterns and repetitions – create illusions of legibility, opening a space where poetic and erroneous correspondences can occur.
