In Gaze stretching as far as there is to go then it disappears, the content pages extend beyond their supportive hardcover as if stuffed in a hurry, leaving them exposed, free and vulnerable, they have their own weight and body separate from the host hardcover. In an homage to cyclicality, some structural elements of the book have been co-opted from the Memphis Milano catalogue, a body of work that already strove to break straight-line-focused minimalism and mid-century modernism. With this book, the borders, the patterns, etc are now used as status quo to both utilize and reject. The contents that fill the borders are sometimes something else entirely than an echo of Memphis design, but rather nature’s own patterns on a microscopic level—images taken and modified by a clinical microscope, layered with text and drawings made on Microsoft paint and Photoshop. After the book was printed and assembled for a first copy, it was submerged into salt water, which crystalized each page. A constant cyclical process of creation and destruction. - The artist
