This week was fantastic. All free work time, with no critiques or department obligations. In turn, I was able to get quite a bit of work done. I have been working on a lot of 3-d modeling on Vectorworks and CAD software recently, and I've been exploring some of those languages in the recent paintings. I'm especially interested in the locus point, the 3-pronged object that determines the intersection point of the X,Y, and Z axes. It's thorugh this locus point that 2-d linework can be visualized as a virtual 3-D form.
The way that these objects used to be visualized in older versions of AutoCAD wasn't very visually enticing, but new programs like Rhinoceros and Google's Sketchup have stylized 3-D modeling in a very interesting way. These new paintings are blending my naive understanding of technical drafting with my interests in design, ornament and systematic organization.
