I digitally designed and carved these bowls using the CNC router as part of my series Language as Object. These objects allow the user to reorganize designed letters within an interior space just as he or she would on a page, in order to create a word, a phrase, a poem or a message. I invented a system of 22 syllables and developed a pronunciation chart, displayed in the drawing at the top.

A series of symbols made from MDF using the CNC router, dyed, shellacked and waxed. A 4' x 8', 100% felt wool rug accompanies the pieces.
