Wedges with yellow and ocher inclusions

from the series “Cuneiform writing”, oil and pencil on paper, 50 x 38 cm, 2005.


The cuneiform writing was a system that was performed impressing on the clay some particular signs with the shape of triangles or wedges, repeated in different positions in order to compose distinguishable characters. In my drawings I use a geometric form, usually triangular, as a mold impregnated with color, repeatedly printed on paper. The final layout of the forms and the colors used can generate a sentence or a meaning.
