Description
A tiger’s face emerges from the darkness, built entirely from 13,263 silicone drops. Each drop is placed one by one, and together they form the stripes, the fur and the intense gaze of the animal. The portrait is cropped to half of the face, so the eye becomes the center of the image and the dark half of the panel becomes part of the animal itself.
The raised silicone drops give the surface a tactile, almost fur-like texture. Seen from a distance, the work reads as a sharp black and white graphic image. Up close, it breaks down into thousands of small, glossy points that catch the light and cast tiny shadows, so the picture changes with the angle and the time of day.
The work is part of an ongoing exploration of texture and repetition, where a patient, almost meditative process produces a powerful image of a wild animal.
