Residues of Water (Molawin River 3)

Residues of Water presents ghostlike images created when pigmented ice in the shape of water bottles melt on paper. In each iteration, the melting process alone produces residual images: pigment slowly moves across the surface of the paper when the ice naturally thaws. The lack of manipulation or intervention by the artist in the production of the remaining image speaks to the ways water has the agency to make its mark on the paper before the water ultimately evaporates.
