Uriarte’s works are usually flawless, where it seems that hardly anything happens (...) but after brief moments of contemplation they reveal themselves as prodigious examples of skill, patience and precision, characterized by the succinct quality of their strict economy of means. In Black Scribble Moon, the systematic repetition of these activities according to predefined rules turn them into meta-routines; rituals that re-enact the myth of Sisyphus. a metaphor for modern man’s futile and repetitive labour.
