Technique: Screen printing on corduroy with gold relief yellow background.

Dimensions: 135 × 42 cm

A dark form — almost vegetal, almost vessel — occupies the center of an ochre field. The corduroy absorbs the pigment unevenly, with slight irregularity, and that quality of the support — its texture, its pile — allows the print to breathe: this is not impression on a flat surface, but a stain that settles in depth.

From that darkness emerge botanical silhouettes in white — fern leaves, schematic branches — that do not illustrate nature but invoke it as a memory of form. To the right, against the ochre field, those same morphologies repeat in negative: what reads as figure in one area becomes ground in another. The design operates across layers of meaning that shift depending on where the eye lands.

What interrupts — and simultaneously holds together — the entire composition is the golden vein that runs through the work from top to bottom. It is not decoration: it is a fracture. A relief that breaks through with a mineral, fractured texture, as if something had pushed its way out from inside the fabric toward the surface. There is something geological in that gesture — a crack that does not destroy but reveals. The dark form appears to have yielded, and through that opening, gold emerges.

The result is a work of balanced tensions: the printed and the intervened, the flat and the tactile, the vegetal and the mineral, the planned and the surrendered.
