2026

This ink drawing presents two meticulously rendered objects arranged on a cream colored page: on the left, an ornate figurative sculpture standing upright, and on the right, a tiered structure mounted on a wooden stand. The composition is executed in detailed black line work characteristic of archival or scientific illustration, with careful attention to surface texture and volumetric form. The page itself is presented as notebook or sketchbook material, complete with visible spiral binding and a decorative border, suggesting a practice engaged with collecting, cataloguing, and the visual language of institutional archives. The work exemplifies a contemporary engagement with historical documentation methods and the aesthetics of preservation.
