About the work
Analia Saban has long experimented with art materials, including printer’s ink. Commonly applied thinly, such as on newsprint, the artist instead applies it in a thick layer onto which she places a thin sheet of laser-cut paper. Instead of the usual “ink on paper,” here the drawing is rendered as “paper on ink.” The filigree-like paper is cut into a design simulating computer circuit boards. As the ink dries, it interacts with the paper and assumes various shapes and textures. Both printer’s ink and circuit boards relate to the flow of information, both via the printed page and the 1s and 0s of binary code.
