Photographic prints, text work, ephemera.

The exhibition begins with three original photographic prints — subsequently becoming the source for two print series.

The prints in Flowering and Blue Abyss were made using a printer with blocked nozzles causing an unexpected colour corruption. Working with this malfunction — which I referred to as "the oracle" — the tool became collaborator, generating outcomes through intention and chance. Each print is unique and unrepeatable.

In a practice that tends toward monochrome, the corrupted colour here is significant. Two ephemera series were produced for the exhibition: Oracle, 20 unique double-sided prints, and Solarised, oracle prints as inverted versions of the originals.

Both series are hand-marked 1/1 in graphite, with typographic ephemera featuring the words Silence/Flowers/Medicine. The 1/1 mark appears throughout — representing the unrepeatable nature of each threshold moment, the ouroboros cycle, union and reflection.
