The new series "Apophenia" is available from ghostly.
"There is a term called apophenia, which means seeing patterns
where none exist. I think I may have it. This series was made using
patterns, but specifically patterns that are dissected and subsequently
reconstructed--it is neither an aperiodic nor an asymmetrical tile. It
is not completely chaotic--there are moments where the underlying
structure is visible--but overall the pattern would be non repeating in
the whole, thus non fractal based.
I've never really set up pieces like this series before and look
forward to trying more. I want to see how far I can push the base
pattern, forcing the overall piece ever more towards the chaotic."
—Matthew Shlian
Similar to Matthew Shlian's Tessellation Series from 2001, Apophenia is presented in four distinct moments, like snapshots in the process of pattern creation. The overall pattern
is first cut scored onto a base sheet by a plotter cutter. Then, each
formation in the series is assembled, with every cell structure added
one at a time by hand. Each formation is produced in an edition
of 25 and numbered for a series total of 100 (e.g. the first edition of
Apophenian Formation 3 is numbered 51/100).
