SERIES: Void Sigil
About This Series
In my new media series, void Sigil( ), I have forged a relationship with the magical artifacts of antiquity and the coding language used to write apps and web technology. The title refers to common syntax used in programming (void) and the symbolic representation of a witches’ desired outcome (sigil).
Subjects in my paintings are rendered by a computer using code that is written like a digital spell book, leaving an iterative artifact from that program.
Repetition of language and image further reinforce the paintings’ magical properties, which is central to the process of casting a spell.
My work is an exploration of alternatives to capitalism and industrialization that have roots in pre-Christian mysticism. Works from void Sigil ( ) represent a yearning for a connection with the planet in a way that honors the traditions of the past with technology and progressive goals for the future.
