PRIMORDIAL
“We have a jar we keep of all the remains of the art materials we have used to create Hackatao's pieces. Pencil nubs, graphite, all are saved in a big jar. To us, this is our Gold Dust, the remnants and physical manifestation of the intangible experience of creation”. Before being guided by the hand of the artist and being shaped by the thought process, before being imprisoned in the wood of the pencil, graphite exists in its nebulous dimension. In this work, graphite doesn’t follow the lines, it escapes the artistic gesture and it’s floating free through rebellious tectonic movements.
