Work celebrating the work and bicentenary of Cork based mathematician Boole whose logic gates are integral to modern computer programming.

The sculpture was built from salvaged timbers and mapped using a Venn diagram mapping each timber’s adherence to 3 basic conditions, timber touches easel, timber touches other timber, timber touches floor.

The timbers were not allowed to touch the floor so any fallen or displaced timbers had to be rebalanced on the structure and all effected timbers mapped.
