Encoded Mega Bean
The Encoded Mega Bean is a larger than life pit-fired pod containing burnished
porcelain beans that are encoded with symbols of the wanderer, branch, circle,
square, crystal, spiral, triangle, and ray. Informed by the concepts found
in Chaos Theory, some of these symbols represent the building blocks of nature,
the elemental forms from which everything in existence is derived. Its superimposed
scale suggests the possibility of genetic interference in our ever-developing
world. The Encode Mega Bean is a metaphor for our fundamental relationship
to this very primal concept of existence, declaring that humans can never
overcome nature, despite our ever-growing connection to technology.
