This composition marks a distinct moment within Alexandre Clanis’s body of work. While open to interpretation as another window into a darker, natural realm, the piece is drawn directly onto sandpaper using crayon. Part of the series “The Exhaustion of the Tool,” it pushes the oscillation of gesture to the point of absurdity, resulting in a surface covered with traces — the visible remains of a consumed pencil. These material and conceptual limits are central to understanding Clanis’s practice, where process, persistence, and erosion become acts of creation.
