light from darkness

This series is called lumina, Latin for lights or cavities. It evolved from my take on the Dutch branch of the ZERO movement. First a grid is applied on a panel, painted matte black. The grid (cavities) is then filled -square by square and by hand- under a magnifying glass. I use a dip pen, with gold ink mixtures (lights). Then a process of destruction / creation takes place until the work is done.

“Everything is made from smaller parts than itself.
Yet everything is part of something larger than itself.
Everything changes constantly.
Yet everything turns into the same patterns.
Everything falls apart at one point.
Yet everything forms new connections.”
