Scattered on the gallery floor were 3D-printed replicas of large chunks of charcoal. While they look exactly like raw charcoal, they were cast in glossy, immutable black plastic. This created a conceptual contrast with the moving, unpredictable liquid carbon, otherwise found in McIntosh’s practice. Here they embodied the Void. The 3D blocks represented the human desire for total control, digitization, and permanence, yet, they are fundamentally impotent— incapable of making a mark, burning, or changing. McIntosh used this to show the irony of human technology trying to replicate, anchor, or master the volatile natural world.
