Simple Geometric Patterns
The monochromatic artworks with simple geometric patterns featured in this blog post were created using the numbers four and eight. I found these plastic numbers scattered on the footpath and initially questioned whether they had any visual appeal. After some consideration, I decided to take them back to the studio and photograph them with a macro lens, experimenting with various compositions.
How did I Make the Geometric Patterns?
The process started with flipping and adjusting a single image until I could visualise a potential pattern. Once I had a concept in mind, I moved to the second phase: working in Photoshop to stitch the photos together. At this stage, things don’t always go as planned, but it’s part of the fun puzzle.
Often a shape, face or other pleasing form emerges during this phase – what is known as “the pareidolia effect.” It’s always a pleasant surprise when these unexpected forms reveal themselves. Can you spot a heart shape in one of the images?
Since you’ve made it this far, you might like to explore more imagery from my Found series.
