Matchbox material, balsa wood, paper and charcoal come together in From the Ashes. Everyday packaging retains traces of use and circulation even as it becomes part of a carefully constructed artwork. The title brings residue and renewal into the encounter. Made in 2023, the work connects with Antonio Tarsis’s sustained attention to discarded materials and the social histories they carry.
