CHANGING DOTS: OCTOBER 2005
This is a physical abstract story of dots. The story presents a qualitative, tactile experience. The physical experience involves reading the book and seeing the pages. It is form acting as a medium which allows people to look at their own perception and learn how they see space. The book of the dots reduces the vocabulary of expression into black paper and cutouts. The solid void relationship creates the vocabulary of expression to experiment with reconfiguration. The space is constructed not out of optical illusions of white and black but out of the subtraction and addition of dimensional forms. It is constructed out of the patterns of dots in a square grid matrix. The pages are not bound so they can be changed around to make new configurations. The grid matrix can be reordered to re-configure its positive and negative space. Pattern and repetition construct numbered sequences. When the page is turned, the negative space constructs the third dimension by framing the context around it. The black shifts to tonal gray and the holes frame their surroundings, creating something out of nothing.
