Experiment 2023.1 #8
You might expect the spirals to rush towards, or emanate from, a black hole or point of infinite depth in the center. In fact, that is something I would normally do. Here I have put some dots and holes at that focal point.
This represents the evolution of the universe, the center is the origin. In the distance past the fundamental forces where unified, over time one than another split off and became a separate force. Each time this happened the universe underwent substantial macro changes.
OK, I made that story up after staring at the image trying to figure out how I felt about it. I put the holes and dots in the center just to do something different. Initially it felt out of place. But after the origin of the universe analogy, it felt perfect.
Experiment 2023.1 #10
Here is one with an ominous and ghostly feel.
Experiment 2023.1 #11
Similar shape as with Experiment 2023.1 #10. This one feels like a neon party.
Experiment 2023.1 #12
High contrast, with colorful thin lines separating smaller regions. This one seems a long distance from where the series started. Yet, I think I can trace the steps that led from there to here.
I am not going to list those steps, nor am I going to continue down this path today. But this is definitely going into my "revisit" pile, and may become the start point in a future series.
Experiment 2023.1 #13
This series started with various decorations, mainly colorings, of simple shapes. I moved away from the simpler wispy, ghostly shapes adding sharp lines/outlines. This one has a little of each.
The next few posts feature and assortment of digital manipulation of this base image.
Experiment 2023.1 #16
This is an experiment in shifting color planes in Experiment 2023.1 #15. Simple mis-aligned rgb planes looked too cheap. Here I make the size of the shift proportional to the intensity of the color, and then blend in the original.
