In this algorithmic series, the artist's handwriting is transformed from something legible into a dense, fervent texture. Each piece begins with traced and coded handwritten characters that are stretched, warped, and layered until they transcend communication, becoming a visual manifestation of raw human expression across time.
Like palimpsests of ancient manuscripts, where layers of text fade into ghosted impressions, this series explores the intersection of personal mark-making and universal human gesture. The algorithmic manipulation creates a paradox: as the text dissolves from order into abstraction, it becomes more deeply expressive of our shared human tensions - beautiful and violent, structured and chaotic, intensely personal yet universally felt.
Generated digitally, with one output manifested physically through mechanical plotting, this series exists in a liminal space between human and machine, between meaning and pure visual emotion, and between the ancient art of writing and its contemporary technological evolution.
This project is part of the digital section of Cure³ at Bonhams, curated by Alex Estorick and Foteini Valeonti of reGEN.
