Borges' Jaguar

Here is the final work I created for the Stereotyped (Sound & Typography) exhibition at Object gallery in September 2010. The jaguar with letterforms in its fur was inspired by Argentinian writer Jorges Luis Borges' short story "The Writing of the God". Incarcerated in a hollow cell opposite a jaguar, Tzinacán believes he sees a divine message in the jaguars coat and realises it may only make sense if he speaks it aloud. The work was accompanied by Jared Underwood's audio collage which was created in response to our inital letterform marking recordings in the studio.
