THE BLANK CONTEMPORARY ART
99 WORDS WITH VIOLET DENNISON

The sculpture “Disappointment Epilogue” (2019) is an open vessel. Its knotted structure has been created by translating my memoir into a binary code. The sculpture functions as both a cipher and the actualization of the artist. It is a liberated notion of body where the copy exists as aura.

Beyond the sculpture is the work “Divination 2” (2019). This piece transmits encrypted audio, via data-over-sound technology, through a network of iPhone Loudspeakers. The content of the audio is a divination of the artist life by a spiritual medium.
