My works on paper are always to be understood in the context of the performative: concept, reflective attitude, “poetry of action” (Henri Focillon). The source material of CMYK masked blue chips-series are screenshots of websites, captured by open-source software, printed on paper which has been painted with one of the four printing colours respectively. All screen prints are hand-pulled by me.
