A pristine sheet of engraved dibond serves as the ground for Sebastian Black's sleek, industrially finished enamel surface, where the work's cryptic title punctuation—a period, a dash, an asterisk—hovers between decorative ornament and coded language. *Period Piece (.-\*)* mines the tension between the slick commercial aesthetics of signage and the intimate, almost typographic gesture of marking. The result is an object that feels at once archival and immediate, caught between monument and footnote.
