Fragmentum Opus II
This body of work revisits the 2013 Fragmentum Opus series, reworking it through the material logic developed in the Grant persona (one of a set of parallel working modes explored through the studio). Earlier paintings are reconstructed, but under conditions where the paint no longer fully holds its position, introducing slippage, drift, and instability into images that were originally more fixed.
As these works developed, they began to read in relation to the originals—not as copies, but as parallel versions. When seen together, they function as a kind of illogical doubling: familiar scenes that have been materially reinterpreted and subtly displaced.
The result is a set of images that feel both strange and inevitable, as if the original work had always contained the possibility of this alternate form
