Notes

"The etching focuses on the use of line, and the subject matter is meant to be evocative, and hint at spaces/movements that are not visible. The colour, magenta, aims to complement the line and both, the line and colour, refer to mechanized processes within a quasi-poetic framework. I have made the subject matter both grand and pathetic, with a suggestion of a tongue-in-cheek apocalyptic vision - to be both flippant and serious in a work that alludes to disaster. I have used line in order to suggest at ways of looking that range from the scientific to the psychedelic." - Colijn Strydom¹
