ai says: a sky-blue ground carries a dense, all-over field of repeating ring motifs — each unit a cobalt-blue pentagonal form outlined in dusty rose, its interior filled with pale mint, crossed by two broad salmon-orange straps that pinch tight at the center and divide the ring into four quadrants; where units interlock, the strap ends create small accent pairs that read from a distance as bright punctuation marks scattered evenly across the surface; a secondary pale-cream lattice runs between units at angles, holding the field together without interrupting its rhythm; viewed at full scale the individual life-preserver shape largely dissolves into the overall pattern, and the image reads as a continuous fabric — the blue of a shallow cove in full sun, the orange of a rescue buoy, orderly and exuberant in equal measure. artist says: a pattern study created on a Samsung tablet using Kaleider’s Android app and one of my digital art works created in ibisPaint as starting lines and colors; I said this about the Project Timer background and it’s worth saying again here. I start by drawing lines I like, lines that say something, and then I add colors I like. Then I add layers and colors at different transparencies to see what happens to the color. Then, sometimes I bring images into a tool like Kaleider to see what happens to those lines and colors when they become patterns.
