How to Construct a Painting of “Superposition”

  1. Creating the Temporal Base Layer: Construct a painting that serves as a layer of past time. Apply a thin layer of dots or particles over it, as if allowing them to accumulate upon the surface, then bring the painting to a temporary conclusion.
  2. Detachment through Time: Leave the canvas untouched until it is completely forgotten—until it resurfaces feeling as though it were created by someone else.
  3. Intervention of One-Dimensional Lines: Retrieve the canvas and place one-dimensional lines of color onto the surface (creating a palette directly upon the painting’s plane).
  4. The Collision of Temporalities: While the paint remains wet, connect or erase the coordinates of these colored lines. At this precise moment, a battle commences between the past temporal layer (the base layer and dots) and the present arrangement of paint.
  5. Chaos and Emergence: Through the visceral chaos and confusion of the wet paint, a new form of color is forged.
  6. Transmutation: Though the past layers may sometimes be obscured, they ultimately re-emerge upon the canvas as a subtle influence, a metamorphosis, and a new aspect (a new face).
