Note on the texts: Some of the glyph writings on the right-hand side are translations of specific texts while others are arranged in a non-rational sequence. For the glyph translations the artist's code has created a glyph for each character. The code omits spaces between words reading the lines from left to right for each column. To see how the text is arranged for these glyph translations click on the link below the image of the artwork. The non-rational glyphs in the other works are arranged with a syntax similar to language but do not carry rational meanings.

Text: So it is that existence and non-existence give birth the one to (the idea of) the other; that difficulty and ease produce the one (the idea of) the other; that length and shortness fashion out the one the figure of the other; that (the ideas of) height and lowness arise from the contrast of the one with the other; that the musical notes and tones become harmonious through the relation of one with another; and that being before and behind give the idea of one following another.

Park Scripture - N, Darwin, 2005
Text:
It is interesting to contemplate a tangled bank, clothed with many
plants of many kinds, with birds singing on the bushes, with various
insects flitting about, and with worms crawling through the damp earth,
and to reflect that these elaborately constructed forms, so different
from each other, and dependent upon each other in so complex a manner,
have all been produced by laws acting around us. C Darwin
