Artist's Statement: "Text from classic works of literature is converted to 8-bit binary strings and plotted ink on chart paper. Although the text content is visualized using a method or "algorithm" and therefore readable, the meaning remains illegible and the viewer is rendered illiterate."
Provenance: Estate of Katharine Lee Reid, Chapel Hill, North Carolina
Comparative Religion: paper slightly toned, floating in frame and under glass, not examined out of frame; frame with light wear
