Richard Humann • Richard III • Cedar block, paint • 6 x 88 x 48 in • 1988

Cedar blocks have been cut and sanded, and then donned with a dot or dash to represent the elements of Morse code. For this work, a passage from William Shakespeare’s Richard III has been translated into Morse code and arranged on the floor as a readable sculpture.
