NATURAL INSCRIPTIONS, ROCK
33Day x Nifty Gateway
The surge in Bitcoin Ordinal inscriptions (NFTs on bitcoin) served as a source of inspiration, leading me to contemplate the concept of art being encoded directly on the blockchain tokens. In many cases the art is stored in what's called off-chain data storage, however these NFTs have made it possible for artists to easily inscribe the image data directly on a satoshi, the lowest denomination of a Bitcoin (BTC). To capture this idea of permanance in the physical world, I created an image capturing nature’s markings preserved on natural rock.
This exploration of permanence and preservation is ingrained in my work, as I am fascinated by the idea of using different methods of permanence. Just as the markings on the rock have been preserved over time, I see the potential for my own art to be preserved through the blockchain, immortalizing it in a new and exciting way.
