Tekton X26 audio notes
I’ve been thinking about making some new audio notes for this latest piece of work. I thought it might be a nice way to present some new ideas.
There’s an underlying geometry which is really based on a tiled X form, which spins out from the middle. The tiling concept is something that you see all over the Islamic world, and in countries I’ve visited recently like Spain and the Alhambra.
There’s a beauty in that kind of underlying geometry which is very two dimensional and decorative, and allows you to have a kind of tiled form on which to hang colour, glaze and pattern. So I wanted to do a piece around those kind of themes, that maybe could look at a very two dimensional approach to image making; a little bit different from the normal more three dimensional sculptural forms that I might draw.
Binomial / work in progress
I’ve been working on a new geometry, and therefore to some extent a new series of images. I’m working with the title Binomial, not sure if that’s where I’m going to stick, probably not I suspect, but we’ll see.
In this first phase it’s been an engaging look at how best to pack a set of spheres into a toroid, a mathematical puzzle that you might think would have been broadly resolved by now, but in fact I haven’t been able to find very much about the geometry and its potential online at all.
There’s an interesting payoff between the number of spheres you want to use, the way they sit together, and the patterns they create in the larger whole, in some ways rather similar to the way seeds are packed into a seedhead in nature.
Two new colour studies for a client in Bristol
I’ve been working on two new colour studies for a client here in Bristol. It’s always interesting to revisit a drawing and spend some time exploring new possibilities.
The framed editions, from my Wave series, will hang as a pair in a spectacular living room. I’ll look forward to having some images of them framed and installed, hopefully quite soon.
