Point of Light

Hand-sewn bead on painted surface

Available for institutional exhibition or private dialogue by request.

This is not a painting. It is a gesture. The black square was once declared the end of form — the point where art ceased to depict. The sewn bead is the moment of return: where light enters matter and presence becomes visible. Art does not end in silence. It begins there.

I entered that black field deliberately. I sewed one bead into the surface. Black on black. Almost unseen.

The bead is not ornament.
It is the point where intention becomes action — where the hand enters the world and changes it. Here, matter bears witness to the presence of the one who touched it.

If darkness were truly the limit, the bead would disappear. It did not. It became visible — not by contrast, but because Light exists.

This is the first point of Light — the place where breath returns. Here begins Bead Impact Art: a method in which matter bears witness to the state of the hand that shaped it.

One bead. One act.
The world begins to breathe again.

In most objects, intention remains invisible.
Here, it is revealed at the exact point where thought becomes action —
where the hand touches matter and changes it.
