These are the three pieces I exhibited at The Art House for my second year independent show.
I was keen to experiment with repetitive pattern and optical illusion to create pieces which reflect ordinance survey maps.
Close up shots of details in line series.
I was trying to emulate the style of OS mapping, combined with an element of sound wave formation and optical illusion. The pieces are A3 in size, white on black card.
The outcome of these pieces and the overall look of them are something I am really pleased with. For my next step I want to continue down the same path but challenge myself to make something bigger. I've been advised that size is something that some people have an issue with within my work. I like to use what is readily available so most pieces are A4, A3 etc. I would like to try and make something that isn't a pre-set size. The idea I have in my head is to paint a whole wall or something of a similar scale. I want to go BIG!
These shots more accurately show the optical illusion element that has become a key part in my work. The ridges seem to stand away from the page as you view these pieces from different angles.
