Fibers interlocking, supported by tension and intention. Carving and dissecting dry paper pulp and water. The residual scaffolding. Deliberately engaging with a process to understand how an image is constructed, how the ground it inhabits can be obstructed. Apart from the whole, the part of the hole. Sketch as origin, vehicle, and register for claims about time. Application as removal, and removal as application. The alchemical mark: the documentation of a mark that is not actually a mark. A series of mirrors. The suggestion of transparency. Worlds existing in reflection and refraction. A moment where two shadows meet. It will all repeat again, it is always not repeating. Maybe I’ll see it again someday.
