Date: 2020

Medium: Mixed media

Artist: Jo Stockham – Tapan Moharana

Exhibition: Ideas Travel Faster than Light, 2020

Tapan writes of Zero, but also of toys.

I plant circles of black tulips in the square without disturbing the soil.

I’ll re-read Sadie Plant’s Zeros and Ones and remember the exhibition at the Science Museum about the significance of Indian science and mathematics to world history (javascript has an origin).

The first known representation of zero was in an Indian bark painting. I use premixed paper mache purchased in New York in September 2001.

I will hang from the fig tree, occupy the space under a bush and behind a bench. With my 2m wand I will capture relationships.
