Looped Figure Unravelling Itself

Dele Ashworth

Created 27 July 2026 at 15:39

What initially reads as pure automatism reveals, under attention, a knotted architecture of overlapping cursive arcs, the pale teal lines doubling back through themselves. Mira Schendel pursued the same collapse of writing into drawing, treating the illegible line as thought rather than failed language. Ashworth stages the unreadable signature as subject rather than authentication.
