Description
each signed and dated on the reverse in graphite
“A complementary set of two modular drawings exploring emergent pattern-formation from the critical assembly of many small patterns. A single basic micro-pattern is designed and a vocabulary of 8 patterns results through reflection and rotation. The first drawing is computer from an off-center point towards the edges, a gradual increase of randomness instructs pattern selection from a single option to many. In the second drawing, randomness gradually increases from the edges towards the center”
