DOT & DASH

BLANKET LADDER

Thoughtfully crafted in 2023

The Dot & Dash ladder is a play on an old military communication system: morse code. Characters are sequenced as two different signal durations using dots and dashes. These codes are transmitted as electrical pulses of varied lengths to the receiver who then translates them. To the naked and untrained ear, they are hard to understand, but careful analysis would reveal much more. The dot ladder is meant to make one question and evokes the viewer to look closer. I used the joinery details to stimulate this curiosity.
