Ascension and Mondial are two quite disparate variations from a series of drawings I made around 2014.
About Ascension
I’ve never been hugely into jazz, but a few years back I did start to dip my toe in the water. I guess Spotify helped with the process, as you can follow your nose down the rabbit hole if you choose to.
Ascension combines a lot of ideas I was working with whilst listening to Coltrane, Bird and many others. No room for squares by Hank Mobley remains a good jumping in point if you want to get a feel for the kind of thing I was listening to.
The whole piece, like Myriad before it, has some sense of the record sleeve, or the spinning vinyl, as the geometry spins away from the central core.
The colours are Mondrian simple, primaries, red, yellow, blue, black and white, and the whole is intended as an homage of sorts to the BeBop era, not a thing I’m overly familiar with, but there is a desire to loosen up, to riff on the geometry, and to allow the drawing to dictate it’s own form.
A process that the digital toolset can articulate if the machines are running fast enough and the work is uninterrupted, especially on a Friday afternoon...
