BLISS IN CONCRETE : STOREYS

In order to free up some space on this blog, and give it a bit more variety, I've consolidated many of the progressions of WORK IN PROGRESS 'B' / BLISS IN CONCRETE onto this page. So, apologies if you're a fan of a particular earlier version of this piece, but for me, I'm rather tired of having to scroll down and seeing it constantly reappear in all its many frustrating iterations.

WORK IN PROGRESS 'B': 21 / 02 / 2017...NEARLY FINISHED.

Probably about one day away from completion. Here's a teaser, below. I think it may be the best abstract painting I've done so far...I'll explain why when I've finished it.

LET'S TWIST

It's not necessarily making 'picturesque' geometric patterns that interests me. It's pushing the software again and again, repeating the same manoeuvre on the computer, and then seeing what the ragged edges look like. It's these 'edgelands' that interest me the most.
