I just completed a new mini series of Circuit Topology drawings that include circles, ellipses and morphed organic forms. This is a big breakthrough, because I figured out how to skew flat circles by translating their coordinates onto the gridded surfaces of 2-point perspectival planes. It just took some patience and a little caffeine to figure it out, but it worked ~
This ultimately pushed me to use the grid as a structural device and allow the circuitry to become more of the focus. In Morphed Circuit, the grid is still there - it's just "invisible". I'm excited to continue in this direction and you can expect to see more organic circuits!
Also, I will be leaving Minneapolis on February 1st! I look forward to returning to my home state and going on grand adventures through the American Southwest and Europe! I have submitted applications to four residencies in Marfa, Texas, Santa Fe, New Mexico, Truth or Consequences, New Mexico and Ballyvaughan, Ireland. Wish me luck as I am being considered for these programs.
More info soon! ~Z
