squangle

·PRINT°ME·

One component from a continuing line of enquiry exploring visual cyphers constructed from basic geometric shapes.

Inspired by Mel Bochner's lists; Sol LeWitt's serial investigation of incomplete open cubes and use of pamphlets as a record; Victor Vasarely's use of circle, square and triangle in his plastic alphabet; this quote "...what one does essentially as an artist is that you create a highly limited situation in which to operate and then you use it in such a way that people don't think it’s limited at all..." from Michael Craig-Martin talking to John Tusa in Tusa's book The Janus Aspect; and my own use of logic and number sequences as a 20th Century systems engineer.

The complete SQUANGLE series can be explored further here.

And there is also a book available from blurb.com.

template update

I have tweaked the width of the columns and been editing back the number of labels used on each post. The aim with labels is to allow the cloud archive in the side-bar to reflect my major interests without becoming cluttered with too many secondary ideas.

If you remember something and can't find it then just e-mail me and I will send you a link by return.

A deconstruction of Shakespeare's sonnets. Each sonnet has been reduced to the vowels and then displayed in a very specific way.

Here we see just one of the one hundred and fifty six sonnets reduced to vowels and organised as a print.

There is a book containing all one hundred and fifty six reductions - now available at blurb.com.

new template

The new blog template is done.

There is now more room for images of up to 600 # 550 pixels wide and a cleaner more spacious feel overall. The colours are also a closer match with revad.com, which should give less of a jolt when linking between the two.

A first look inside my BA dissertation: the logic and influence of circle and square. This wordle gives you a flavour by exposing the most used keywords from what is a thesis of some 6,500 words.

This was a fun series to make. (With their permission) I used the work of fellow students as seed material to feed a rule based process. This is one outcome from merging the work of two fellow students and the predefined rules I designed.

There are eight components in the series which can be viewed here.
