The ‘Articulated’ series of works originate
from a constantly ongoing investigation into
the simplicity and complexity of refracted and
reflected light. 

Planes that seamlessly come together visually
in one way will segregate and cause a rupture
in another. 

I try to keep as many components as possible
equal in intensity, size and ambience.

The articulation of many planes can be
manipulated by the viewer to create differing
structures, shadow formations. 

Imbued colour is reflected from the rear of the
coloured articulated planes.

In this way and under a controlled system
I stand a remote chance of creating a structure
that is both simple and complex.

The verso colouration structure used to cause
the various ‘sight’ colours is indicated by 
rows and columns 1-7 :
