Jeffrey Sarmiento (Newcastle upon Tyne, UK)
Encyclopædia v.9, 2007
Enameled and cast glass
8”h x 6”w x 2”d

Fortunately, Sarmiento rescues us from the overload of information by breaking this epic amount of information into smaller chapters in a series of glass “volumes” entitled Encyclopædia v.5-12 (2007). Each eight by six-inch volume contains some of the same images and texts from the previous piece, though not in the exact order as before. The information takes on an intimate feel. With its clear and precisely polished surfaces, the viewers are able to extract the information that Sarmiento has skillfully chosen. He has set the stage, filled with his cast of characters, and he allows viewers to draw upon their life experiences to extract their own personal narratives.
