Inkgraphic — Selected Works — 2008-2017

Inkgraphic is Pfishova’s body of work in black ink — thrown, dragged, splattered, then held. Each sheet is a contest between control and its loss: the stain spreads by chance, the hand answers with a line, and out of that struggle a body or a face surfaces, half-made and already dissolving. Ink is the medium of both writing and the spill — it names and it stains in the same gesture — so the mark is never only form here; it is the sign closing on the body, and the body breaking free of it. In the Naked Bodies thread the figure is stripped to a few strokes, exposed and unguarded, held on the white by nothing but the pressure of the hand. Monochrome, fast, unrepeatable — what spills cannot be taken back.
