6 Gliceé Prints. Each one is 13”x13” Framed.
These 6 prints are part of a series of 100 shadow patterns I created in 2015 to explore how a pattern changes when shadows are introduced to the composition.
I constructed these patterns by cutting and folding a sheet of paper. What was once a flat page became a three dimensional relief. I then took these reliefs and photographed them in bright sunlight to create graphic shadows.
In the finished prints it’s often unclear what is a shadow and what is a graphic mark.
The optical illustion-ness of these patterns intrigues me.
The patterns also serve as a meditation on the disruption of order. I was very precise in the way I cut the patterns but inevitably there would be tiny imperfections in my hand cut elements. These imperfections were amplified when the reliefs were exposed to sunlight. As I photographed the pieces, the position of the sun was always changing, the wind was always blowing and the shadows never turned out exactly as I imagined. This was thrilling.
