marimonda – Hatching

(It’s blue because of VPype)

I really enjoyed doing this project, it felt like a fun throwback to drawing exercises and it made me think a lot about how materiality might connect with hatching and values. I wish I had utilized some more specific patterns, like the examples we saw in class with dithering or truchet tiles. But I was having too much fun with the patterns I had already chosen.

I also want to give attribution to Dan Schiffman’s video on the Hilbert Curve, which I adapted to create the fractal pattern in the first block.
