meanwhile 2026, series of printed drawings, gouge, rocker and carborundum on Hahnemühle paper, 29 x 39 cm
By incising the surface, the gouge does not construct an image so much as it reveals a latent materiality of the paper, a velvety, almost flesh-like quality that would otherwise remain imperceptible. The rocker rhythmically impresses its edge into the sheet, while carborundum generates a new thickness by creating dense, granular zones of accumulated matter.
These minimal gestures shift attention away from form and towards the very conditions of its emergence.
This minimal practice belongs to an economy of gesture akin to the logic of haiku, yet it is above all a reflection on the status of the visible. What remains of an image when it stands at the threshold of its own disappearance?
The work does not impose itself; it requires perceptual activation. Chiaroscuro and variations of light condition access to the forms, inscribing the gaze within a slow and unstable temporality.
In this perspective, drawing becomes less a space of representation than a field of phenomenological experience.
