Notes

"The design of BIFIDITY is based on a smaller sculpture made as part of the Blind Alphabet Project in 1993. The original piece was made small enough so that it could be picked up and easily handled by a blind person.

The original work made for the Blind Alphabet Project was accompanied by a Braille plaque containing this text quote:

BIFID, BIFIDATE, BIFIDITY

Something bifid, or bifidate is cleft so that it divides into two parts, some will erroneously say, 'forked', like a bifurcated form. If, however, we study the Latin findere that gave rise to bifid, and see that it means 'cleave', then bifid assumes its rightful meaning."
