Black

Blacking out the white paper in the total darkness (a particular process) constitutes a drawing in, a pulling force, a magnetic pulse that produces a state of jouissance; the dry pigments and the wet media coming together in ecstasy. This is the state envisaged where the body is raptured in loss, the moment of visceral  incantation; the body relinquishes itself into complete (as in overwhelmed) materiality, disappearing into the wet and dry media. A longed for state of absorption; material diffusion of the body into the blackness of the marks on paper absorbed by total darkness.
