Thinking Graphically
This will certainly not be the last time this happens, expect many many more in the future. These are a few "doodlings" I've done recently in response to the context and concept research I've been doing for the competition. Often times I like to sit down and start drawing shapes, geometries, and patterns. Somehow, at the end of it I always have more clarity and understanding of what I was thinking about or just life in general. For a number of different reasons that I will not get into here, I've become fascinated with fractals and as of late hexagons. I have thoroughly been enjoying my exploration of them both.

I am not all interested in pulling you away from the pen and paper, because that is a powerful thing you've got going. And, as you mention, the benefits are beyond merely exploring the shapes, lending the exercise to be a mental/meditative one.
ReplyDeleteBut, I have to mentioned processing [http://processing.org]. It is an accessible programming platform that is all about visualization and math. The site has a pretty easy Getting Started section. I am, of course, available to help out if you are interested.
