Coal Mining Issue 9 (Urban Tapestry)

This monochrome relief turns drawing into excavation, where incised lines and shallow embossing read like a palimpsest of plans—half circuitry, half city-grid—hovering between order and erosion. Light becomes the primary pigment: as it grazes the surface, shadows articulate a quiet topography that shifts with the viewer’s position, making the composition feel unstable and alive. The fragmented panels suggest memory assembled from partial maps, a meditation on how systems—architectural, digital, or psychological—both organize experience and fracture it into compartments. In its near-white restraint, the work proposes silence not as emptiness, but as a charged field where meaning is sensed through pressure, trace, and absence.
