Prologue
The Prologue drawings are group from the summer and fall of 2024 that started as an exploration of Moby Dick and Melville’s classification of whales and took further inspiration from 19th century bookbinding and modern oceanographic measures. It expanded into other literary sources found in Antoni Tàpies memoir ‘Fragments for an Autobiography’, written under a facist dictatorship.
My original inclination was to focus on handwriting and script as a way to generate abstract imagery and organizations of space, but they became a darker meditation on a possible future, advancing like storm clouds across the ocean.
