Abacus Series, Installation view, 2012
I am interested in abacus' ability to act as a converter between ourselves and the enigmatic. An abacus can function as both a tool and a toy. In both scenarios, it serves as a demonstrative device that provides an opportunity for the viewer to learn on an experiential level through the physicality of the object.
