Capsule Collection for Eject-a/1 and Eject-a/2

Lapilli Dust, Ink, and Everyday Fragments

For the exhibitions Eject-a/1 and Eject-a/2, I contributed to the Capsule Collection, a project initiated by Tramandarsas a way to create small, tangible works that extend the spirit of the exhibitions into a more intimate format.

I developed my contribution using lapilli dust, archival paper, studio offcuts, and a toy silkscreen frame, producing a series of printed fragments that reflect my processual and tactile approach to image-making. These works are not multiples or editions—they are unique material gestures made in response to the context of each show.

Material Memory in Small Format

The pieces were created using a small silkscreen,. I used what was available in the studio, privileging imperfection, residue, and improvisation.

Some works were printed on Fabriano Accademia and some a black offset paper, , with inks that included traces of volcanic dust. A few pieces were displayed on glass tables, mounted on lava stones, or presented as loose fragments to be handled and reassembled.

The Capsule Collection reflects Tramandars’ intent to slow down the art-making process, shifting the focus from industrial production to gesture, research time, and material proximity.
