This is one of a new series of drawings, and a return of the use of Posca paint-markers in my work. Following on from the geometries of recent work (based off the twelve point division of a regular format), I compose a pattern across one third of the board and then repeat and extend tessellated segments edge to edge. This is both a way of discovering unique shaped figures within a regular format and filling that regular format (rectangle) completely.
After so much shaped work I often return to standard formats to develop an approach for supporting work on canvas and to exercise a thorough understanding of the patterns generated.
The unexpected appearance of these patterns is enticing as I see their parallel to digital glitches on computer screens or a bad signal on a cathode-ray tube (CRT) television, producing analogue distortions like a vertical hold rolling screen.
