“Equipements(noir)” fills the surface with intricate black-and-white motifs. Gear-like circles and small squares gather densely: from a distance they form a pattern, while close up the individual lines and shapes draw the eye. Made in 2011, this is a work from the early part of Asuka Satow’s career, offering meticulous detail and the pleasure of tracing its many elements.
