Endless (Fragments of Self) Printmaking Contemporary Printmaking

This multi-panel composition stages a quiet dialogue between ember-toned fields and a central column of smoky charcoal, as if memory were being pressed into paper and then partially erased. The warm rust blocks read like weathered walls or sedimentary strata—scarred by scrapes, grids, and abrasions—while the vertical monochrome mass anchors the eye with a bruised, human-like presence that hovers between figure and stain. Negative space becomes an active breath around the fragments, turning the gaps into pauses that heighten the sense of rupture and reconstruction. In the smallest panel, the dark, lip-like stroke functions as a final, intimate punctuation—suggesting a voice held back, or an afterimage of touch within an otherwise austere architecture of traces.
