Suspended from the ceiling, the entire uneven surface of the whale, entitled Dark Wave, has been drawn all over by the artist. Black graphite marks, arcs and lines, spin out from pivotal points on the skeleton in concentric circles. Orozco describes this process as one which creates a ‘topology of the object’. His intricate geometric patterns map do not, however, simply sit on top of the frame of the animal, and adorn it or describe its surface, more they also tattoo it with a series of new references and possibilities.
