Mirror Glyphs, 2025- ongoing

Mirrored Acrylic, Interstitial space between health and human service workers and their clients, Fala/Fazer|| Speak/Make Algorithm

Mirror Glyphs are a new body of work that uses gestures captured between health and human service workers and their clients. The original Interstitial Castings were commissioned by Buffalo Art Studios in 2018. Their forms are run through the Speak Make algorithm and them symmetrically arranged and cut out of mirrored acrylic. These works offer the viewer both reflection and deflection and allow the viewer to literally see themselves inside these gestures of labor and care.

These works emerge from the ten-year evolution of a glyph-like gestural language.This language is derived from the space between two bodies gesturing. In earlier works, these transient spatial configurations were captured in plaster and steel or abstracted into light-dispersing wall graffiti. Here they transform into rune-like figures. These new forms were derived from extra-linguistic artifacts and generated by an algorithm that uses sound as its input data. Shaped by a sound, rather than explicit language, these glyphs are mutations of previous relational encounters and echo the process by which memory processes relationships and gestural communication.
