Certain Fragments

2021-2022



In 2003, the Antwerp Diamond Centre was robbed of $100million of diamonds; to this day there is no definitive account of what happened. This work forms a visual accompaniment to one oral account. A hybrid of words, images and exclamations, the illustrations explore how stories relate to the audience, and what makes us trust. I have been working between charcoal and screenprinting, exploring how the two media can interact. This is a tangible spoken word.

This project is an exploration of how screenprinting can open itself up to alterations between each print. From person to person, the book will change. Pearlescent ink looks different at different angles and in different settings. Using charcoal as an alternative to traditional printing ink allows the images to differ from book to book as the powder swirls then settles in different ways through the screen. This is a book; this is a podcast; this is marker of what happened, and what probably didn’t happen.
