So after a rather confusing crit last week, I had to re-evaluate the work I was doing. After being told there are no characters in The Library of Babel, in fact there is no library, it is all to do with the transcendence of knowledge, I've had to go back to the drawing board. Needless to say I am a little confused.
I've decided to go with some more surreal, abstract type images to see where this takes me and to test if I can actually illustrate the transcendence of knowledge.
I'm happy with the image, but I'm not sure the whole idea of knowledge has the legs for a major, self-directed project. The symbol in the top left is the Adinkra sign for knowledge. This type of symbolism might have to play a major part in the progression of this project, purely as means to visually represent knowledge. I want to stay away from the more obvious ideas, such as a light bulb to signify an idea for example.
