Thickening powders, special brushes,
A poem, a limerick,
Strokes of magical thinking.
"Dust to Dust" acts as an intimate anchor within the Surface Tension series. Here, the artist employs bold washes of pigment to create a dense, contemplative field of browns and blacks, evocative of deep earth and memory.
The surface itself is an active space where a quiet choreography of line and language takes place. The handwritten elements – the traces of a poem, a limerick – are not simply written upon the surface but are embedded within it, demonstrating how pigment and script hold each other in perfect tension. It is a meditation on impermanence, created through the meticulous layering of thickening powders and special brushes.
