The images are created by taking multiple photographs of the target area in "Hounsdcroft Woods" (on the west-facing escarpment below the "Bear or Rodborough") and stitching them together into a single photograph - sometimes equivalent to a 60 megapixel sensor. The images were captured in a low morning light coming through an autumn tree scape which creates a warm colour palette.
The images are then modified by mathematical transformations (see "Complex Maps"). The transformations fall into two categories: "rosette" transformation, and "p4" symmetry transformations.
What we see in this gallery are mainly reduced resolution versions of original high-resolution images. (The intention is that the high resolution files will be use to produce large hard copy prints.) In some of the prints boundary conditions are defined that contribute an abstract quality to the result.
