Departing from his earlier works in the Stone telling series, Widjaja had made these marks resembling stone prints without using any actual stones. Having begun with the artist’s desire to transpose into images a material of the earth, the project has evolved into making an image that suggests the existence of an object rather than taking an object to create an image. The technique involves the artist rubbing, pressing graphite transfer papers against the paper directly, and in the process, traces of his fingerprints will inevitably show up on the paper and become records of his actions.
