2-run, 2-color direct gravure with photogravure
The title of Chance and Necessity references a concept taken from Zen Buddhist thought. During the summer of 2015, Cinto was in residence at Aomori Contemporary Art Centre in Aomori, Japan, where she began an investigation that is continued in Chance and Necessity. She states, “… it seems that I found the water that I have so long sought to graphically represent.” Rather than depicting water, she has used it as an element, letting water tinted with ink run freely over sheets of mylar, which were used to produce this series of direct gravures.
