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 I: Variations

This series was made using a 6" circular, machine-cut copper plate in combination with several lightweight Japanese papers. Many of the prints are 'reflexive'; impressions of themselves disintegrating, exploding, distorting and degrading in successive ghost prints.

Using processes that are simultaneously highly controlled and unpredictable, a unique, handmade sheet of fibrous paper is marked under extreme pressure against the same plate, inked once.
