Abstracts | Experiments either using code or manually to demonstrate some aspect of colour and shape interaction. |
Digital Drawings | Drawings either with the Apple Pencil on iPad or with the mouse on desktop or laptop, sometimes incorporating processed photos, usually to demonstrate something or other. |
Photomanipulation | Colour and shape experiments using a photograph as a base. All photos are abstractions of the scene that they are representing, as anyone who has ever taken a photo will know, they are not an exact representation of the scene, so it is a blurry line defining what constitutes a manipulation. Usually I am experimenting with some limited colour set to see what the effect is. |
Designs With Text | Text is a whole separate area of my studies, for text is a series of shapes that are interpreted to provide meaning, just as a collection of shapes and colours is. |
Analysis of Old Masters | I use my software to look at the design structure of paintings that have stood the test of time, to search for clues why that might be from a structural perspective. |
