“Revolutions” Drawing Series: same lines, different arrangement.

“Revolutions” drawing series.

Varying the arrangement of identical line plots in two drawings is an ongoing investigation. I categorize these types of drawings into a Revolutions drawing series. The two drawings show here have the identical thirty-four line plots.

“1,632 Revolutions” has all line plots aligned to the top of the circumference.

In “1,632 Revolutions With A Twist” each line plot rotates to the right in like increments, changing alignment of the line plots in a rotating pattern.

The naming convention for these drawings is taken from the number of line plots times the number of rotations around. Each of these drawings have 34 lines, each line plot required rotating the drawing wheel 48 times, for a total of 1,632 revolutions of my drawing wheel to complete the composition.
