John M Armleder was invited to make an etching for publishing house Edition Franz Mäder Galerie, Basel. In stead of making a dry needle etching on copper plate he asked Mäder to make 25 blank plate prints on etching paper. On each of these Armleder drew unique spirograph drawings. He numbered them as if it concerned an edition.
At a certain point, Armleder used a spirograph by leaving the utensil uncontrolled run over the paper creating a most surprising juggler’s lightness and evocativeness. He once stated that for him in the end every time he has to think about how to make an art piece that is no more than a performance. Here it is, definitively, with it’s etching-like dancing appearance.

For this series each ‘contemplation stone’ is hand painted by the artist. On each numbered copy the depicted flower is coloured slightly different. In 1997 this edition was offered at Feature in New York for the first time. After its closure it is unknown what happened to copies #1/4, #2/4 and #4/4.

LvdS: ‘I don’t know why I wrote ‘Worteltje’ on it, although I remember that I liked that word a lot, at the time.’

In 2006 Jonathan Monk told David Shrigley in an interview: “I now think the only thing that stayed with me after art school was the idea of context. What and where things are placed in relationship to other things in the world.”
