newsprint and charcoal
in tender union
Mimicking memories
Each piece within this collection is a delicate dance between the artist's expressive strokes and the inherent delicacy of the medium itself. Created on newsprint paper that oxidizes, tears easily, and features charcoal that smudges and wipes away, 'Caducus' encapsulates the essence of transience. The deliberate choice of materials mirrors the impermanence of memories, where the act of recalling and revisiting them inevitably alters their form, echoing the profound fragility of the human experience.
In 'Caducus,' the physicality of the medium is a metaphor for the malleability of recollections, with any external contact irreversibly transforming the pieces. The ephemeral nature of these works serves as a poignant reminder of the ever-evolving narrative of our lives. Just as memories shift and morph over time, the delicate newsprint and smudging charcoal in 'Caducus' emphasize the intricate balance between preservation and transformation, inviting viewers to contemplate the transient beauty of both art and memory in an immersive exploration of vulnerability and impermanence.
