Where does this come from?? Well, it was something I had in mind for a while... maybe not this specifically... But it was an idea from last year during my Book as Art class. I was thinking about making a book with my own made language, or code. Maybe take a series of stories and translate them in that language/code, or translate an entire story phonetically.
There's something about language that's intriguing.
So today... I took 26 random sunflower seeds, randomly assigned them to a letter of the modern English alphabet (A-Z), and drew them out black and white.
I had been staring at the idividual boxes for so long today, I wasn't even sure if I was confident with how this would entirely turn out. When I got home I scanned it into Photoshop, and ta-da! Not so bad looking...
Why sunflower seeds? WELL... They were at hand? I wanted something mundane? Sunflower seeds are incredibly simple objects with such complexity in design and pattern... There are various reasons...
Where am I taking this? I foresee a large sheet. A bunch of encoded words. And a world of backaching pain.
