Tesseract

Second piece from the new 4-part series of angular intaglio copper etchings printed with Schäfer Grafisk Værksted, Copenhagen. Edition of 20 signed print editions on hand-coloured paper Somerset 220gsm. "Tesseract" draws on a description of 4-dimensional space in the final book of Liu Cixin's Three-Body Problem Trilogy: "A person looking back upon the three-dimensional world from four-dimensional space for the first time realized this right away: He had never seen the world while he was in it. If the three-dimensional world were likened to a picture, all he had seen before was a narrow view from the side: a line. Only from four-dimensional space could he see the picture as a whole. He would describe it this way: Nothing blocked whatever was placed behind it. Even the interiors of sealed spaces were laid open..." p. 280, Death's End
