One of my father’s modular constructions, seen against a Welsh landscape on one of those bright days when the fields are still vivid green and dotted with wild flowers.

Systems – Rotation, Reversal, Chance
Playing around with a system of rotation and reversal of a simple shape, I corrugated the paper cut-outs which adds an element of chance in how the light falls, the pieces are not attached and naturally curl up in random ways. Half the cut-outs were corrugated top to bottom, the rest side to side. Of course the corrugations shortened the lengths so the pieces no longer fill the squares properly. For a few moments this looked wonderful in strong sunlight but now it’s cloudy again.
Colour Change Hex
I should have said before but the reason I posted the photo of my mother’s painting yesterday was because I had been reading Andy’s (Patterns That Connect) article. https://patternsthatconnext.wordpress.com/2015/01/20/chance-and-order-at-eagle-gallery/. I do so wish I had seen that exhibition.
Here’s another of her paintings from the mid 70s, similar in theory perhaps to Andy’s intricate paintings from 2015. A fascinating link to four decades ago.

A work in progress – inspired by a visit during the Poppies installation last Autumn.
BP Portrait
I am working on two versions at once, still not sure which one I prefer.
