The artist covered the floor with a thick layer of ‘Pearl’ adhesive, which, once dry, created dramatic, cosmic landscapes. Their fragments were photographed, and three quarters of their paper prints additionally developed with a torch, making each print unique. Black, dominant in the composition, draws one into an abyss. The artist seems to be searching for a fatalistic symbol in the abstract chaos which we create around us.
