Description

"Fiction No. 1" is part of Onchi's explorations into imaginary or constructed realities — print subjects that exist in no external world but are internally consistent compositions of invented forms and relationships. His "Fiction" series sits at the intersection of his abstract and allegorical work, using forms that are specific enough to suggest representation without being unambiguously referential. The numbered series title implies a continuing investigation of what "fictional" visual space could mean for printmaking.
