Assignment #3

Fields

Patterns draw our eye. Repetition and symmetry is the most powerful and magnetic force in art and nature. They simply make sense in the most effortless and efficient way.

Purpose

Task

I was tasked with creating a cut field of a geometric pattern based on an aerial image from photographer Alex MacLean. I chose to construct an alternating grid of 3,360 hand-drawn and cut circles in groups of ten that represent industrial smokestacks.

Deliverables

One digitally abstracted photograph (shown on the right)

Two iterations of cut field

One final 22"/30" composition

Materials

22"/30' paper

Pencil 

Exacto knife

Preliminary work

first cut field iterations

final composition
