CYMK Photopolymer Print on Somerset Paper

h: 35 w: 24 d: 1 (cms).

Inspired by the concept of material transmutation and refinement used in alchemical practice to create a philosopher's stone. The different colour channels used to build the image represent the fundamental materials of mercury, sulfur and lead - which were thought to be the source metals that all others were derived from. The act of breaking apart the original imagery into its core components and rebuilding it in a new form mirrors the practice of refinement, and brings into question whether something entirely new can be drawn out - and where this might have come from - as a wider question.

£375 (As exhibited.)
