Jason Jang 7/19

Organic patterns derived from plant specimens and Industrial patterns derived from machines

I combined several plant specimens to make this pattern.

I derived this shape from printingpress gear.

Process:

I took specimens of plants and combined them in several ways so that I could find the best mixture of shapes and composition of pattern. I transferred these patterns to 4x4 squares and I repeated the pattern into 8x8 square. From there, I repeated 8x8 square four times so that it creates 18x18 square of repeated patterns.

Looking at negative spaces are very interesting.

I really like the simplicity of the black and white that draws focus to the unique shapes. Are they ink prints or cut paper? The floral piece reminds me of a Rorschach print...

Hints in using Artstor

There are many ways to find the images you’re looking for in the ARTstor Digital Library; a simple keyword search will often lead you to what you’re looking for, and an advanced search will help narrow the results. Wildcards can help when you don’t remember a precise name or title, or, conversely, when you are looking for something very specific. There are only four to remember:

The underscore (_) can represent any one character. For example, m_netwill retrieve monet, manet, etc.
The asterisk (*) can represent zero, one, or several characters. ren* will retrieve ren, rene, renoir, renaissance, etc.
The dollar sign ($) will expand the search to include terms that stem from a given root. $farm will retrieve farm, farmer, farming, farmyard, etc.
To search for an exact phrase, put it in quotes (“…”). When searching for the painting Le Moulin de la Galette by Renoir, enter “le moulin de la galette”. Also, unless your search phrase is enclosed in quotation marks, the order of terms will not affect the search, so searching for albrecht durer gives you the same results as searching for durer albrecht.
