The Punchcard project is an attempt to somehow mirror the cryptic or archaic in the things we do not understand. I specifically wanted to make a series discussing how our recent age of computer devices constantly generates new languages, that subsequently become redundant and forgotten.

The drawings themselves are made using photographic references from archives documenting, or even advertising the early punch card computer systems. Instead of just working from one reference alone, I draw elements from multiple sources, constructing images that look convincing in terms of narrative cohesion.

I feel that this way of working somehow mirror the way we constantly construct and revise our narration of reality and sense of self - often without the necessary knowledge to understand the information we use.
