it's amazing what a hard substance ink becomes, how it settles & forms & fills in the space -- markmaking w/ ashes sooty from flame, to touch that inky depth defined by whitespace & aligned by brainlace, my fingertips want to run the ridges of this topography & close lids for the takeaway -- these images are seefeelers transmitting a tactile rush brushing lashes to blink blinks as absorptive as any dark vividity thru convergence reflex focus'd on focus & fusional in fixation -- pupillary diameters wider & wider, lampblack to glue & gum an ecstasy of the coverings.
...looking for an article or book by Li Hsiao-mei, entitled "MO P'u Fa Shih" (Handbook of ink recipes and inkmakers), in Mei Shu Ts'ung Shu, published by Yee-wen, in Taipei, in 1947.
"Andrei Molotiu's comics are absolute marvels: hotbeds of evolving ambiguity where one never knows what disturbing or witty interaction between abstraction of objects and objects of abstraction is about to take place. Each time I've opened them I've been utterly absorbed, that is, drawn into places where I had no power other than to become what I was looking at. What he does is superb." --Harry Mathews
"I love artists that break the rules and Andrei Molotiu breaks them all, with mind-bending and beautiful results." --Scott McCloud

Wow, that is a dark series in all senses. A Blot/Abstract Molotiu series related to Goya's Black paintings?
