The name of the color ink "yellow demarcation" often used by the artist throughout his career gives its name to this work. He collected over several years the ink dried in the wells with the stirrer (stick, nail brush, etc ..). The demarcation line, which suggests a limit geometric element also often used in his work appears on the shelf where the objects are placed with holes, which coincide with the circumferences of the ink made of the same objects. As if these small objects were loaded with the potential of demarcation from the common use of color. After all the ink to name suggests that recurrent use of demarcation.
