In response to the theme of Forces, I wanted to create a series of objects that obeyed to the following rules: lines are continuous, no colour, must consist of at least 3 different shapes.
I wanted to create a series that focused on something that looked industrial so I ended up creating shapes and drawings that featured cityscapes, trees and smoke. My series anchored around the shape of housing. I wanted to create both still and animating pieces so I created 3 pieces via Animate that resembled live drawing and 2 pieces on photoshop that took more of a pattern format.
During the process, I was thinking of the EscherXNendo exhibition at the NGV and also thinking about my memories from doing still-life where we were not allowed to look at our work and could not lift our pencils from the paper as an exercise.
