appears to appear 2024

In a rhythmic, circular motion, text patterns emerge and fade upon a surface coated with thermochromic paint. Brass types are heated and lightly pressed against the paper, letting traces and messages appear beneath them. This repetitive process traverses the liminal space between presence and absence, text and graphic, where the emergence of meaning is in constant motion.

Despite the same text that appears either partially or fully, the exact traces at each moment are never the same. It invites the audience for a moment of close observation, anticipation and patience.
