Signature · Data & connectivity
Topographic currents.
Parallel wavy lines running across a form, contained by its silhouette like water filling a vessel. Each region has a dominant flow axis; neighbouring lines undulate in the same phase with small offsets, producing a current that moves through the shape.
The silhouette is a firm graphite contour. The interior is the same graphite at the same weight — but spaced so the cream ground between lines breathes as much as the ink itself.
Flow axisPick one dominant direction per region. The lines run across it, not around it.
Phase matchAdjacent lines bend together. Coordinated waves, never independent noise.
SpacingEqual cream gaps between lines. The negative space is half the drawing.
TerminationLines end where the silhouette ends. They do not close.
PaletteGraphite silhouette + cream interior lines over any Archival Pigment ground. The pigment is the field, graphite holds the form, cream carries the current.
