Supplement of Original
White veins in river stones lead to random patterns on the surfaces. The selection of certain river stones and their arrangement transforms these patterns into symbols, in form of Latin letters. This is how words and sentences are created when stones are in the right position next to each other. Language and communication arise and their signs become a supplement to what is already there.
Supplement of Original Art by Andre Quirinus Zurbriggen has been identified as a creative illustration of communication design by the A' Design Awards. Supplement of Original Art was awarded the Silver A' Design Award in Fine Arts and Art Installation Design in 2021.
