Description
This piece is taking a further quarter of a rotated grid and enlarging it. I wanted to have as little control over the resulting compositions as possible. These sections are the end result, and the aim of the project.
As I am one of those people who can stare for hours at a piece of twig or stare lovingly at a rock - I thought I would explore our ability to appreciate natural phenomenon.
This project started by taking some photographs of rock faces with cracks and fractures that I thought it would be interesting to develop the concept of naturally occurring art.
Other than cutting out sections along the fractures to give interesting shapes, I haven't composed any of this work - rather... as it developed, I devised a system of grids, placing the original samples randomly, then started rotating sections of the grid to overlay other grids underneath and then applying layer filters.

Thank you very much Maggie, for this and your other comments:-)... yes, this was fun to do... never really knowing what was going to emerge! I had wanted it to be random - but the amount of permutations available the way I set it up was rather mind boggling (and I get bored easily :-). It was three layers x each with 16 sections x rotate around the 4 sides... then flip each one and repeat eeeeek!!! :-)
