these tile peices were created from a unit of geometry distilled from the car studies, morphological matrix and patterning exercizes. the first was "designed" in the sense that i conceived of an idea and carried that out, while the second resulted from a programming mentality.
tile 1_ the original geometry of this tile was woven together and skewed and then impacted into the a solid base at an angle so that the lines grew out of the solid piece. it was my intention to trim the edges to the 6" x 6" tiile unit. the resultant tile pattern could be repeated forever. i have not trimmed the edges, however, because i appreciate the way that the geometry emerges from the boundaries of the tile. it is less tile-like because of its irregularity, but beautiful and sophisticated. looking at the physical construct revealed a new relevance as i began imaginging myself walking along the smooth plane and into the spaces that emerge from the impacted geometries. to further explore the tile idea, however, i am going to try to trim the edges and re-print.
tile 2_ this was the result of a simple programming or scripting mentality where the peices were copied, offset and rotated by the same amount each time. this then shifted, was reversed, and the pieces continued to flow counter to the original motion. this pattern can be imagined to repeat infinitely. i like how there are different moments within the pattern. a clear, linear void, for example, emerges as the pieces part for a moment as they fold back around on themselves.
