Didactease (2006)
A Tiffany’s Sterling silver coin-edge circular pendant and chain, engraved with a Didactease emblem and a small asterism, placed as if discarded on the floor of the gallery or worn by the gallerist / invigilator. The Didactease emblem uses mathematical symbols to produce the sentence ‘There exists only one definition for everything, everywhere at any one time’. The work is in two parts, accompanied by the poster ‘Didactease Expanded, 2006‘ relating to the necklace with the use of another asterism, the poster hung in the gallery with normal straight steel pins.
