I’ve continued to explore my idea of lines/grids/cages/structures over the last week or so. This has interestingly led me back to looking at Mondrian, who a vaguely remember writing about when doing my dissertation. So I’ve found myself yet again re-visiting past ideas and interests. The thing I’m interested in are the lines and grids within Mondrian’s work and the conflict between conformity and individuality, a sense of struggle to keep a sense of spirituality in a fast moving world. I like this feeling of conflict.
I used photoshop the other day to play around with the some ideas, and then ended up actually doing it for real on the canvas as it seemed to work. I find this a fun way to work, and it’s useful too. A few days later I started doing stuff to another canvas, and thought to myself, “doh, I should’ve done this in photoshop, I’d have been able to undo it.” Never mind.
