Light Flat is a single thought explored in various formats. A series of abstract monochromatic drawings in different media arranged in several constellations; in each case they result from processes of silent manipulation. Color information is discarded and sometimes compressed to the extent that the image becomes almost shadowless and flat. Contrast is taken out of the image and rendered in a tangible, mechanical form.
