The Hatches collection marks my return to Art Blocks, my first release there since the Inspirals and Eccentrics series' back in 2021. I went back to basics with the art concept too, looking for ways to create evocative art using simple geometric forms, textures, and colors. The series blends inspirations from Frank Lloyd Wright's decorative works, Art Deco patterns, the Bauhaus school, and Sol Le Witt's rules-based art practice to generate evocative new compositions. Hatches swing open to reveal portals to other places. They uncover lost layers, like peeled wallpaper exposing old images and emotions, or lenses enhancing hidden features. These artworks simulate the process of drawing and coloring in a grid using simple forms, cross-hatched and painted. The textures meld and clash, adding energy to the works. Each piece can theoretically be recreated by someone with graph paper, pens and pencils, watercolors, and lots of dice for randomness -- though it would take time and a steady hand.
