About the Item
Torsion / primer is a ten colour archival pigment print on 305gsm, 100% cotton, Hahnemühle fine art paper.
The work can be supplied unframed, or framed and ready to hang. I tend to use fairly minimal glazed and painted tulipwood frames, and set the work ‘straight in’ under the fillets, without a window mount. If you’d like to discuss other framing choices to suit your space please do get in touch.
Individually signed and numbered
From an edition of 24 prints, plus 2 APs
Image size ⋅ 88cm H x 72.2cm W

.
Torsion / primer is a variant of an original base drawing that was used to create the ‘torqued’ forms of the more complex Torsion / REZ works on Plexiglass.
The idea comes from a number of places but in particular the modernist sculptural work of Walter Leblanc, and his idea that if you heat up a thin bar of steel, and torque one end through a number of rotations, whilst clamping the other end firmly, the resulting form will be a hugely satisfying candy twist of metal, spiralling up or down, depending on your choice of rotational direction.
For Torsion / primer I drew tall stacks of carefully detailed tessellated components, before torquing the columns to form the final Torsion / REZ images.
Only sometime later did it become apparent that this underdrawing might also have some appeal, and that with some further work, could become a standalone pigment print edition.
The beauty of working back into a drawing some months or years later, of course, is that you become far less concerned about each original mark and detail, marks that had previously seemed critical to the original composition.
As a result, whole sections of the study can effectively be over inked, or as here, reduced to deep charcoal shades, adding extra drama at the expense of some loss of detail. Which, with the passage of time, seems like a good trade off.

The image I made is not an identikit line work, more an homage based around some of the origami like folds they use, with the addition of colour glazes and offset transparencies. I've also added a grid like structure of darkly shaded lines and accents, that brings the geometry to life. The first piece I drew, ACDH (acid house...Category
