Printmaking, Digital Pigment Print on Paper
Size: 17 W x 17 H x 0 D in
I completed the drawing for this design in 1970 while I was residing at the Coach House Press in Toronto. The original drawing forms part of my “Polygonum Progredi” compendium. It shows 9 polygons Sharing an Apex (the ‘sharp’) descending at 11.25 degrees from a vertical triangle to a horizontal, 11-sided polygon. I completed it along with its relative, displaying Parallel Sides (the ‘flat’). I had experimented with different separation angles to get the right look. All the drawings were done with pencil on paper, using only a compass, protractor and straight edge. I made the paper (upon which I drew the designs) by hand in the paper laboratory at Massey College were I was teaching paper making. It was part of a batch of drawings which I depicted rotating around their x axis. It forms part of the Turned group in 3a X-Axis Rotation’, of my Progressive Polygons - Five Variables. I originally conceived of it as the front elevation for a sculpture. Decades later, for the purpose of a copyright issue, I treated its vectorized version with Photoshop filters to look like neon and colored them in a spectral sequence.
