WAYFINDER II — BLACK SERIES

2024–2025

WAYFINDER II extends the ongoing investigation into navigation and identity, presented here through the Black Series. The etched surface unfolds as a field of marks that resemble maps or coded pathways, but rendered in a darker register—emphasizing shadow, density, and the unknown.

• Paper: BFK Rives
• Dimensions: 15" × 22" (series standard)

Concept

While the Gold Series suggested luminosity and fragility, the Black Series turns toward opacity and endurance. WAYFINDER II asks how one locates themselves when clarity is withheld—when the path is obscured yet still inscribed. Each impression becomes both a chart and a veil, a record of searching within shadow and resilience.
