Disruptions

This project begins with a perfect geometry, printed onto paper that has first been folded, crinkled, or gathered into an irregular form. When the paper is unfolded and pressed flat again, the original geometry no longer reads as intended. What remains is a record of the disruption itself, visible in how the ink has scattered, broken, and redistributed across the surface. The gap between the printed intention and the printed result becomes the subject. A straight line, a grid, a precise shape: each is subjected to a physical interference the paper carries before the ink ever touches it, and the print becomes evidence of that interference after the fact. The flattened sheet holds both things at once, the memory of the fold and the memory of the geometry, neither fully legible on its own. Taken as a body of work, the prints propose disruption as a generative act rather than a failure of process. Each sheet is a documentation of a specific, unrepeatable gesture of folding, one that cannot be reconstructed from the flattened result alone. The precision of the original geometry makes the disruption legible; the disruption, in turn, is what gives the geometry its particularity.
