Egg emerged from an ongoing exploration of machine-generated imagery, utilizing a laser engraver on paper. As the initial piece in an upcoming series, it depicts a simple yet highly symbolic subject. Through repetition and randomness governed by computer code—and utilizing no fewer than four thousand laser cuts—the process pushes the machine to its limits. By subverting the tool's primary functions, it generates subtle textures, at once fragile and intense, that ultimately pierce the page. Much like discovering gold by chance deep within a mine, the piece illustrates a constant quest through the intricacies of matter to uncover light. Echoing this transformative process, the solid beechwood frame was custom-built and intentionally scorched.
