No Wrong Answers is an interactive artwork exploring modularity, materiality, and the beauty of open-ended systems. The piece consists of a series of rotationally symmetrical truchet tiles, each cast from diverse materials tinted with natural earth pigments. These tiles invite viewers to engage directly, arranging and rearranging them in countless configurations, each resulting in unique, valid patterns.
This tactile puzzle celebrates the idea that creativity thrives without rigid boundaries. With no prescribed solution or singular way the tiles must align, No Wrong Answers emphasizes the value of process and the infinite possibilities born from personal interpretation. Each arrangement becomes a fleeting expression of the participant’s choices, merging play, intuition, and design into a harmonious experience.
At its core, the work reflects the democratic nature of a symmetrically rotational system, where each orientation of a tile holds equal visual weight and validity. This balance ensures that no singular piece or configuration dominates, embodying an egalitarian ethos in which all possibilities are equally viable. By leveling the hierarchy of design choices, the system encourages inclusivity and empowers participants to explore freely without fear of “getting it wrong.”
The use of earth pigments grounds the work in a palette of organic hues, connecting the contemporary geometric forms to the timelessness of natural landscapes. By blending material experimentation with interactive play, No Wrong Answers challenges the viewer to embrace ambiguity and revel in the freedom of creating patterns without the constraints of right or wrong.
