Binding and String #5, 2019 (details)
In the "Binding and String" series, my metal-binding technique is inspired by a Japanese dyeing method, in which string prevents corrosion on a metal plate.
My metal-binding process shows how a plate is corroded over time. A plate treated by this approach is so fragile that it can only create a couple of prints. Each print has slightly different details, thus generating a Variable Edition.
Furthermore, this transformation of materials only happens once and cannot be reversed. I have become very interested in this randomness and unpredictability believing that the principles and rules of the universe are hidden there.
