Artist Statement
“Telecommunication has always been hand in hand with the development, planning, and building of railways in the history of the Americas, particularly in and around Atlanta. A positive/negative format of the circuitry established early on started with the telegraph. Think of the dot-dot-dash Morse Code as primitive binary coding that raced along the railways at phenomenal speeds. Although binary coding and wireless communication dominate today’s telecom industry, telephone poles remain a relevant part of our nation’s infrastructure. As silent sentries standing strong, yet unnoticed in our collective oblivion, the poles are visibly invisible. These positive/negative relationships are where I base my concept for my sculptures.”
