Drop #026
Echoes of Movement
In this composition, the predominant thread captures the elusive echo of Ivan Perišić reverberating through barriers, a sound that translates into fluid strokes and swirling shapes. Intertwined are the margin notes on Nathan Gallagher, whispers of thoughts that flicker at the edges, adding a complexity of nuance but remaining a secondary presence. The frenetic energy of ink-wash reflects the interplay of these threads, emphasizing how disparate influences can coalesce in unexpected ways.
Perception
Five measurements of the day's attention — they choose the palette, the medium, and how far the work may drift.
The making
The image and the line are one reading of the day — not a caption of the news, a composition of it.
Everything moved at once. The marks came out fast.
The measurements chose ink wash on a Smog ground, framed as thirds.
These are the signals that went into the work:
- ivan perišić — what ivan perišić sounds like through a wall
- nathan gallagher — the margin notes on nathan gallagher
Everything else on the map was heard and passed over.
