“A selection of photogravures”
Enrique’s statement:
My work focuses on apparent and sub-visible phenomena made possible through experiments with materials, media, and technologies of production, and the chance occurrences that result from their shared sympathies. This allows for new understandings of the extended creative forces of nature and the reciprocal flows between matter, process, and visual technologies. I explore reproductive media’s abilities to arrest, enhance and evoke the development or disappearance of particular material or physical incident’s that reveal emergent and transformative aesthetic forces.
