The fire's destructive traces leave residue on the image carrier and creates new forms. The process of creation itself is not entirely in the artist's hands. Additionally, it is for the employment of a grid through which smoke and heat impact the image carrier that serial structures that are no longer part of the artist's individual style arise.
