Cog
2021
80cm x 160cm
Linocut, ink, and brute force on paper.
Whirring away, in someone else’s machine.
Cog is part of the Machines series created in 2021 and released – finally – in 2026.
3 works, each an exorcism of sorts, the mechanics of addictive, unhelpful voices and actions.
Created with improvised materials and tools, each the result of dozens of failed attempts, either too chaotic or too controlled.
Until eventually – an imperfectly perfect balance.
