The artwork was made during the Artist's residency, at the time of the 58th Venice Biennale.
The work was intended as a very dark image where the details of history slowly emerge in a very close tonal range, by harking back to earlier nocturne paintings. It was also the intention that the image almost resembled Malevich's black square as a direct reference to modernism.With the details of historical references slowly emerging from the darkness.
Due to the careful individual hand wiping of each impression, each print is slightly unique and varies with each print
