Concentric Bearings, D
A meticulously rendered image of concentric circular rings, their precise geometric forms emerging from the deep, velvety blacks achieved through Celmins's masterful combination of printmaking techniques. The work exemplifies her obsessive attention to texture and surface, as the subtle gradations of tone create an almost hypnotic sense of depth and stillness. Characteristic of her practice, Celmins transforms a mechanical, diagrammatic subject into a meditative object that invites prolonged, quiet looking.
