Commentary from the Material World:
This series of photopolymer intaglio prints explore different types of sequential compositions, rhythms and layering by printing segments of older and new plates over portions of the paper. The movement of marks left by debris placed and etched onto a plate, cross over the boundaries from one segment into another. They leave word-like marks from which a vocabulary of language emerges with its obfuscated meaning that appears to speak of cosmic, microcosmic and worldly forces at play in our experience.
A tracery of marks moving off the edges, sometimes still, then moving into motion, co-motion and counter motion; it alludes to marginalia found in Islamic and Asian art whereby commentary and notes are ‘written’ into the margins around an image, offering a glimpse of order within the apparent randomness of human experience.
