craziness

this craziness was created in photoshop by multiplication.

pattern_textile

this image yielded from the same study of pattern in the images below. using the screen capture of the top view of the geometries, and using the display setting, a basic criss-crossing pattern emerged. the ultimate image was generated with some photoshopping.

pattern interation from deconstructed matrix

with the interrogation of point and line of the surface geometry that i created, i then began to deconstruct the piece. once deconstructed, i began re-attaching pieces. this got messy and ugly. so i chose a piece from the new matrix to array and investigate with pattern in space. several spatial images were created.

new model piece_matrix

the geometry of this piece was by far the quickest and most well formed piece that i have made to date. for the morphology matrix of this piece, i wanted to get down to the basics to really interrogate a point and a line (hull) to reveal visible morphological changes in the geometry. this exercise was useful but did not yield very attractive results.

matrix morphology_3

for this next part of the exploration, i took the rotated matrix and by revealing the hulls, attempted to show the end hull in each of the 15 geometries through which the manipulations were created. this image reveals the morphology, the origin of that morphology, and leaves the piece incomplete in the hopes that the imagination will fill out the patterning that has emerged.

i should also mention that the selected hulls were stretched simultaneously to emphasize the cv's.

matrix morphology_2

to further investigate the relationship of line (hull) in the manipulations that were just created, i arrayed the pieces in a twisting fashion, rotating each piece along the same axis by 10 degrees each time. this was meant to create a perspective view through which the morphology can be observed.

matrix morphology

using this new piece, i transformed the geometry by moving the hulls one at a time (15 total) with each iteration. the hulls were moved up along the x axis and across the y axis to the same coordinates each time. this was an imprecise methodology, as i was not able to move the hulls to the exact same coordinate each time.

with a different view of the piece, we can see how the moves effected the geometry from a different perspective. there's a few layers of information in this image. first, the model. second, the bounding boxes of the individual geometries are visible (highlighted with pink boxes, that become more dense as the geometries build up on top of each other. third, the image is overlayed with points that reveal the wireframe geometry. finally, a wireframe of the original piece is shown in white.
