Project coming from playing with rotation of an oval shape.
The two rows which alternate, each use a different reduction equation* to shrink the ovals, leading to slightly different sized shapes as they decrease in size.
I'd hoped the rotation would then also yeild different results, but they rotated exactly the same regardless of their sizes.
The vertical adjustments were unique for each shape, due to their different sizes and y height dependent on their rotation.
This all leads to a collection of individual journeys. I like the awkwardness of the difference, which interupt this from looking like a smooth optical pattern.
With the rules all followed there came the point at the bottom right, where one oval overlaps, touches, collides, kisses the other. Accidentally obviously. Destiny.
The print was originally designed without a background, but I felt it needed some framing. So we have ended up with two versions, one with a background gradient and one with no background at all.
* L to R: each oval reduces by 9% from the previous oval size. R to L: each oval reduces by 9% from the original oval size.
