🪚🪵 #woodtothewise 🌲 ⁣ A decade ago, artist @yucefmerhi defined a system he called 𝘗𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘓𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘶𝘢𝘨𝘦. It is a sensorial metalanguage that can be applied to any language, making it automatically understandable to anyone. Merhi developed this universal language depicting words, mostly nouns, using the material they refer by definition. For example, he displayed the Chinese word for magnet (cítiě / 磁铁) using and arranging 1000 magnets.⁣ ⁣ For 𝘗𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘓𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘶𝘢𝘨𝘦: 𝘔𝘢𝘺𝘢, the artist researched and reproduced a set of logograms (Mayan glyphs) employing a wide range of materials. He selected elements that for centuries have been part of the Mayan artisanal culture: earth, cocoa, jade, dyes, beads, and wood. Then, he investigated which Mayan symbols designated each element; from there, Merhi created a series of sculptures and installations ranging in size from 11 inches up to 50 feet. To decipher the glyphs represented by Merhi, one must only know that "𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘁 𝘀𝗮𝘆𝘀".⁣ ⁣ The selection process of logograms was as rigorous as possible, drawing on the expertise of archaeologists, epigraphist, and academic material. The artist also had the collaboration of botanists, historians, farmers, veterinarians, chefs, carvers, artisans, and experts in various fields.⁣ ⁣ To produce 𝘗𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘓𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘶𝘢𝘨𝘦 (𝘞𝘰𝘰𝘥: 𝘛𝘦 #𝟹), the artist carved a piece of wood with the logogram that corresponds to the symbol for ‘wood.’ Merhi had the support of an archaeologist-epigraphist and a local carpenter.⁣ ⁣ Yucef Merhi⁣ 𝘗𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘓𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘶𝘢𝘨𝘦 (𝘞𝘰𝘰𝘥: 𝘛𝘦 # 𝟹)⁣ 2014⁣ Cedar wood⁣ 17¼ ⨉ 47 ⨉ 1 inches⁣ Courtesy of the artist and The Bonnier Gallery, Miami, FL. @thebonniergallery ___⁣ #yucefmerhi #perfectlanguage #thebonniergallery #te3 #wood #woodcarving #mayanlanguage #maya #mayansymbol #mayanlanguage #venezuelanartist #ancientworld #ancientcivilization #deadlanguage #logogram #metalanguage #te (at The Bonnier Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNr5w0fnV1R/?igshid=1cay3j2d4sena

So I translated “House of Gold” into Latin

It goed like this:

Rogabit: “Fili, ut senescam emes me domum auri? Utque pater vertet saxo, tu curabis me?”

I know it’s only the chorus, but it fits into the ritm and it took me a long time to translate it

It made me question life again

The sentence "The fire burns in the fireplace." in Old English, Old High German and Old Dutch. These languages were roughly spoken between AD 500 and AD 1000 and are all descendant from different Proto-Germanic dialects originally spoken in modern Germany, Denmark, the Netherlands and Belgium.

Hey friends!

I’m thinking about doing a Classics MA which means I need to learn basic Greek and brush up on my Latin (I studied it 4 years ago but have forgotten most things) IF anyone has any good resources/tips/encouragement please send them my way!! You’d be doing me a massive favour

Thanks!! - Erin / carrot-studies 💕
