Mountains (7)

This series looks at mountains as accumulated gestures: the image appears only when the eye steps back. Up close, there are just strokes — brief, breathing dashes — each one a unit of attention, each one refusing to be a single, definitive line.

Every work is built through 28 hand-mixed layers of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. The digital parent image is decomposed into coordinates, then repainted by a machine through plotter-drawn pen marks — thousands of short movements laid down in sequence until light condenses into terrain.

I use the machine to count time in strokes, testing how repetition becomes memory — how the world returns as an image, one small dash at a time.
