Three Blades Crossing

Cynthia Okafor

Created 10 July 2026 at 16:16

A torrent of cyan strokes tears across the picture plane in overlapping diagonals, each loop folding back upon the last. The Gutai group insisted that the trace of the body's action was the work itself rather than evidence of it, and Okafor's blades proceed on exactly that principle. The drawn mark is never neutral; it is always already a record of a body moving through time.
