i’ve always been interested in intricate/impossible drawings, where one tries to draw as accurately as possible all that one sees in an intricate object; in some way, it is the time that one spends with that object, and how it grows in us, that becomes itself the object of the drawing; in wischgaze series, through engraving (dry point) and progressive printing i somehow tried to make this process more visible – i drew one of the several old wiping gauzes found in the printing studio and printed several stages of the work; the work was shown in Berlin, in the collective exhibition for the 100th anniversary of the Lichtenberg neighborhood – in this case the evolving prints were seen as a metaphor for the evolution of urban landscapes through its constant human intervention.
