SYSTEM OF SHAPES: VERSION 1 UPDATED

Generating Information to Create a Variant

The below artist statement doesn’t explain the basis of my practice, instead it is used in documenting the steps participants would take in generating the information needed for each artwork. The 3 images below illustrate different parts of the process, these necessary steps being the dice themselves, filling in the information and then a selection of the finished variants of the system.
