I work with nineteenth and twentieth century binary coding technology artefacts, such as textile jacquards, musical box discs and IBM punch cards, often using them directly as my collagraph and etching plates. The tangible wear and tear of these industrial relics form an integral part of my practice. The damaged paper and the rusty metal discs hold the narratives of redundant technologies and evoke memories of the people who made and used them. They also remind us of the origins of our intangible digital world. Obsolescence, loss and change are ongoing themes within the work.
