The Closed Circuit series are made up of identical letters that are grouped in such a way that they form a closed unit. You no longer distinguish what form and negative form is; and riveted to each other that it can no longer be visually separated. Searching for the boundary between language, meaning and image it’s a study of what makes a logo. These works were created in 2012/2013 and lasercut from 4 mm MDF plate. The following year I made the work larger on 4 mm dibond. Link to CC-page
