Artist’s notes:
This construction was developed from a series of drawings and small scale ‘layered’ tests using clear and tinted perspex, with Letratone sheet applied to some planes or parts thereof. The division of a square by a single line at 117 / 63 degrees repeats yet changes direction, introducing implied rotation. There is a progressive positioning sequence of planes that is different for each ‘quarter’ of the work, introducing compositional change and spatial ambiguity.
