Diamond Candy Box
1981
This work presents a grid based composition featuring repeated motifs arranged in ten horizontal rows. Each row contains six variations of a single image, including domestic objects such as boxes, wheels, shells, and circular forms rendered in black and white with subtle tonal variations. The systematic repetition and serial presentation are characteristic of commercial product packaging design, while the application of diamond dust adds luminous surface texture to the composition. The stark contrast between the dark ground and the light imagery, combined with the methodical arrangement, creates a meditative rhythm that transforms everyday consumer goods into monumental visual subjects.
