Notes:
|
Cha creates patterns on the paper using rubber-stamp "Black And Blue." In two instances she transforms the rubber-stamp by adding blue paint. "Markings" is defined as the act of making a mark or marks. "Black and blue" is the discoloration from congestion of blood under the skin, as a bruise. In the text Cha is possibly emphasizing black and blue, bruise, hurt, impression. The pain, impression has left a marking physically and mentally. By repeating the rubber-stamp on various sheets Cha emphasizes the existence of many "markings" possibly on one individual or from one situation. The patterns also may signify the occurrences or lapses between the marking. Blue paint may signify "blue" sad and gloomy emotion one feels as result of the "markings."
