‘This work was developed using joss papers collected during a trip to Taipei last year. Traditionally mass-produced and used in ritual contexts, these papers are highly standardised in material and format. Through cutting and rearranging them into individual sections, their uniformity is transformed into a more varied and contemplative composition.
The slow, repetitive process of cutting and arranging each section becomes a meditative act, requiring focus and patience. The individual sections form a loose grid, with small irregularities in alignment and spacing deliberately retained. The repeated sections overlap and interlock, creating a subtle sense of woven structure across the piece. The metallic surfaces respond to light with changing reflections and tones, bringing subtle movement to the work.’ -Ramsay
