Compendium of the History of the Universe — Fine Art

The field in Compendium of the History of the Universe holds soft marks and a few drawn lines across the page. The work belongs to the surrealist tradition. You see a quiet space that stays open from one edge to the other.

The fine art print sits on the wall you look at each morning. A light frame on a dark wall lets the pale marks stay clear. The paper takes the ink without shine, so the grey stays flat and even.

In the bedroom, the picture hangs on the side wall beside the bed. From the bed you see the darker shapes first, and the faint lines appear when you sit up. Nothing in the room calls for another picture.
