Marking out the dots from the positions of peoples heads in Victoria station. After the background has been painted. (Messed up at the bottom, didn’t realise the paint wouldn’t be thin enough to see through.) Finished Piece. The colours are dictated by the number of triangles in a group + the number sides bordered by

This piece was created using the thumbtack pattern used in the first 5 ‘configurations’. The pattern of dots is repeated here 12 times, as can be seen by the slight grouping of density. The colour choice was made by taking a random set of colours, arranging them in order of darkness and then matching that

In configuration 9 the rule I used was that instead of using colour as the positive element dictate the fill, I’d let the traditionally negative elements i.e. white and the background prime colour dictate how the fill is carried out.

The colours were decided by colours randomly
