Grid-18 uses shapes that meet at corners to create the illusion that they are somehow all sharing the same line. I used this technique to express my inspiration, which came from simple stitching patterns such as those found on pillows. Nothing too complex here: just a reflection over the y-axis and simple geometric shapes, which can arguably yield to pareidolia.
Grid-16 is Aztec and circuit board-inspired. The grid is open from the left and right sides of the piece where a polygon with four rectangular protrusions faces outwards. The elaborate polygons can be seen as a representation of a system such as a circuit board, or a diagram such as a mandala or an Aztec Cosmogram, both of which are representations of the universe.
Grid-15 marks the midpoint and a new direction in the gridz series of 30. Gridz 1-14 have been mostly experimental and helped me explore and discover a lot about this art form through scrupulous analysis. Hopefully the analytical approach to previous pieces will serve as a fairly objective demonstration of the power of gridz as an art form that both communicates and precipitates thoughts, ideas, and emotions through a minimalist canvas.
