It unfolds in languid contemplative fashion, curling endlessly in upon itself, a burrowing within rather than an expansion out, each …

Five Wooden Frames
*2023 stock* Five Wooden Frames marks the return of Italian artist Giueppe Ielasi to 12k after his captivating polyrhythmic explorations on Aix (12k1051, 2009).

Watercolor paint sublimating and fading. Here she collapses eight years of memories and records into layers of sounds intended to…
