Research - Tobias Tovera

I found two series by artist Tobias Tovera that reminded me of the bleaching that I had done on my prints. The colours are blurring into one another much like how the bleach altered photo colours.

Here is his personal statement from his website; http://www.tobiastovera.com/ 

As an artist I am interested in experimenting with alchemical processes in the pursuit of discovering a "third space," a zone of possibility that exists beyond the restrictive dualities.

My vision is to create transmuted spaces, places where energy shifts, changes, or renews itself. From the introduction of water and mineral to the use of science and the occult, this translates into working with opposing elements to reveal how they interact, transform, or propel each other.

Each layer I pour and each object I introduce is intuitive. The formal shape and material application is determined by the movement of the medium and its successive layers. The entire process choreographed as a ritual embodying the meditative state.
