In the Morse Code Series, David Bromley employs the iconic Morse code —a system of dots and dashes representing letters and numbers — as a visual language that extends beyond its utilitarian origins. Through his deft brushwork and meticulous precision, Bromley creates intricate patterns of dots and dashes, seemingly abstract at first glance, but holding profound messages within. Each composition within the series becomes a cryptic narrative, where the dots and dashes rhythmically dance across the canvas, evoking a sense of mystery and intrigue. The artist strategically conceals messages, both personal and universal, within the arrangement of the Morse code, inviting viewers to engage in a deciphering process.
