Ivorypress at Kettle's Yard
"The meditative images reveal the artist’s ‘contemplation of matter and essence’ in the domestic space, including abstractions of interior corners, windows, curtains, light and shadow."

Factum Fetishes
31 July 2019

On the morning of the 1st March, during ARCO 2019, the American photographer and artist Mariana Cook presented her new series at a private viewing hosted by Factum Arte: 13 black-and-white images inspired by the fascinating variety of patterns and textures unintentionally thrust upon the tools and objects in use throughout Factum's workshop, ranging from a painter's vest, cast salt, and a butcher's knife.

When Cook visited Factum Arte's workshop in Madrid, she was inspired to photograph the artisans' tools she noticed at the factory. In collaboration with Factum's printing team, a printed portfolio of thirteen images was produced combining aquatint and piezo technology. The physical effect of this invented technique affords a three dimensionality to the images.
Presented alongside the Factum Fetishes series was a collection of large-scale photographs printed on gesso-coated aluminium at Factum Arte.
