Rotation Bloom
This drawing was made with a ruff formula. I had done some small experiments but couldn’t predict the outcome of the work. I began by picking a random point on stencil of a right traingle. I then nailed that point to the center of the paper. I traced and rotated the triangle eight times to make an eight part symmetry. I then flipped the triangle over and lined it up to the ones I’d already traced. Using the same nail hole, I repeated the process of tracing the triangles. This time I had to trace it 64 times. I did this over and over, using a different point each time. The result is a complex radial symmetry created by 8 smaller overlapping 8 sided symmetries.
