Rather than treating lithography as a means of reproduction, Mercedes Corvinus approaches the medium as a field for material experimentation. Her ongoing project Sandwelle exemplifies this inquiry—an attempt to visually capture the often-overlooked moment of stone-grinding within the lithographic process. Her work in this medium seeks to uncover image-making potentials unique to lithography alone.
