Chaos series

A series of sculptural paperworks considering human interactions with natural systems beyond our comprehension. Unique, interdependent systems and their geometric roots challenge mainstream tropes of disorder. 

Works in editions are made with the same strict set of processes, with a necessarily unique outcome for each print. Pictured are the first prints of each edition.

Chaos II: Variations and Distortions, 2018 -

​​

This series of small-scale works was begun during a residency at print studio Print To The People (Norwich, UK) in 2018. These unique prints are made with Tosa, a lightweight kozo paper often used in repair work.

 

Each print is made using a 5x5cm copper plate, and a square of paper torn (Variations) or cut (Distortions) to 20x20cm. The paper is crushed and printed multiple times with precisely controlled variables. The mats have been altered with drawing, piercing and sewing to show the shrinkage post-'damage'. The final ghost impression on each print is a complete square, sometimes barely visible except for its plate mark. 

The Chaos II Variations are monoprints in editions of 7, and the Distortions are monotypes.
