"There is something almost scientific about
the way 'Mutable Proof' was made — testing, layering, returning. The warm ground
feels like a substance under examination, the marks above it like findings that
keep shifting. Nothing is fixed. The title holds that tension: proof that won't
stay still.
The embedded text beneath the surface speaks
of performance, ancient study, visual metaphor — knowledge that transforms in
the handling. The painting doesn't resolve that. It stays in the process of it". - Anika De Souza
