Wirrimbirra White
Artworks from the Stitching as Storage series explore how textiles can store, index, and arrange ecological data in meaningful ways. Wirrimbirra White is composed of 7360 hand embroidered stitches on a grid-based cotton cloth canvas. Embedded within the geometric abstraction is a cryptographic aleatoric notation derived from the rhythmic biodata of the white waratah (Wirrimbirra White), a rare colour variant of the iconic red waratah. Belonging to the ancient Proteaceae family, the waratah traces its lineage back over 90 million years to the Gondwanan supercontinent. A primordial bloom, it embodies wisdom and perseverance due to its existence within and throughout deep time. The white waratah is seldom seen in the wild. Similarly, its presence in the embroidery is subtle, nearly imperceptible. The delicacy of the faint stitching invites the viewer into an intimate act of looking - one that echoes the flower's rarity, fragility, and quiet persistence. To retrieve the biodata of plants, sensors are directly attached to the plant to record the changes in electrical conductivity that transpire through the stomata: a direct channel between the plants’ internal autonomous systems and the conditions of the external world. Each significant change within the stomata is communicated to the sensor, initiating the recording process. This biodata is then sonified and notated as a rhythmic composition, where each embroidered line signifies the duration of an 1/8th note, encoding the waratah’s biological rhythms into geometric harmony. The stitches articulate a rule-based compositional procedure that notates the “beat” of the plant. The choice of stitching with two color values nods to the most basic form of computer code: base-2, wherein two binary values are utilized to constitute conversation, or in this case, rhythmic notation.
