About the work
Throughout her career, Gego produced work that located meaning in oppositions: symmetry and asymmetry, stasis and dynamism, light and shadow, visibility and invisibility. These inkless intaglio prints, sheets of paper embossed without pigment to produce barely discernible impressions, resulted from a brief collaboration between the artist and the poet Alfredo Silva Estrada. The imagery Estrada conjures in the poem—shadows, movement, light, and rhythm—are also at the core of Gego’s practice.
