“PURIFICATION is an inversion, a reversal of corruptions, a necessary portion to complete the profane and a process toward another state. This publication, which is the least dark of Terence Hannum’s publications, is not only on white paper but it exploits this ground and comes tucked inside of a white envelope that is embellished with a laser etched white acrylic plate. PURIFICATION takes, as its base, a set of drawings that are then inverted and edited alongside more graphical elements such as a variable pentagonal grid shattered like a monochromatic stained glass window, the disembodied fragment of a drawings’ edge acting as a frame echoing towards the light. No text, just image.” – from the publisher.

Packaged inside a white envelope, on white pages, this book features nearly whited-out inverted images of churches, kitchen appliances, and unidentifiable shapes: a treatise on the absence of color.
