I began by sifting through my images. I found interesting vignettes hidden within in the gridded arrangements. Different stories where revealed in the scale changes I was observing in the squares.
I started by removing the grid, physically from the image which allowed me to to explore the nuances of each individual square. I began to experiment with spacing and grid structure, to see if the images were still reading as a complete whole.
Then there was an experiment which began with harvesting the image housed in the center square of all 187 images taken with the grid, on the day at the beach. I started to arrange them in different ways to see what could be revealed. Were the images still readable and of that place? I found the linear expression to be a successful interpretation and experiment. However I felt more could be done. I started to study the images in the z-axis. A video expression was explored.
After this I decided to move even further into the imagery (in scale). I studied the colors in each image and pulled swatches of color from each and arranged them in a grid. I wanted to see if there was something to discover in the abstraction of the images.
Now I feel I need to push the scale of the images even further, by finding a way to combine the two ideas. The ideas of the image and the ideas of the abstraction of color. How can the two be joined to discover patterns and form, or even structure. I hope to find structure through the discovery, find the hidden pattern, find the hidden story.
