Spreading Void delves beyond the loss of a beloved building designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh. At its core lies the concept of space as a non-existent materiality-a void from which presence emerges. From this void, a familiar fragment materializes: the façade of the now-destroyed Glasgow School of Art. That presence, however, is fleeting. A force of nature sweeps through, engulfing and erasing the structure, ultimately returning it to the same intangible background from which is surfaced.
"I enjoy working with the facades of buildings that are undergoing material deterioration or that no longer exist. This is a two-dimensional process composed of multiple underlying layers, each functioning within its own dimension and allowing new forms to emerge. In this drawing, I began with the façade as the central element, framing both what comes before and what follows. The ink responds differently to each layer—interrupting in the background and flowing more thinly in the foreground. The result is a captured, dramatic moment of what is being lost to a natural, destructive force in space."
The piece is rendered in ink on polyester paper, PVC, and canvas paper.
Dimensions: 350 x 350 mm
