Image Statement: The Morse Code message contained in this piece is "Each Slow Dusk". This is the first half of the last line of Wilfred Owen's poem "Anthem For Doomed Youth". I am interested in non-verbal methods of communication, like morse code and semaphore, which have fallen out of use. I am fascinated by the patterns they create as well as the messages they impart.
