The blotters

1964, The Blotters. These are authentic blotters found in his parents' attic, which must have been around since his childhood. In 1964, while doing aesthetic research, the author was intrigued by the complexity of forms made by chance, the primary colors and the recurring alliterations, which were testimonies to the success of their funtion. The involuntary, also insipid impct of their presence is heightened intentionally by the interactions of the cursive aesthetics.
