Phillip Naylor @ Summer Exhibition 2012
‘Stratamatic is a collection of works from a period of drawing and printmaking, exploring specific landscapes, and repetitive or ‘automatic’ methods of production. The intention is to re-present visions of natural or man-made environments through a range of adopted marks and motifs, to create equivalents for a particular terrain, in effect translations of the landscape. Whether responding to sparsely developed rural uplands or suburban settlements, my practice is to find common structures, repeated elements, patterns and matrices that can be discerned over a rock-strewn plateau as well as the roofscapes of an urban hinterland.’ (http://www.padstowstudio.co.uk/2011/09/phil-naylor-stratamatic/)
I loved this when I saw it. The direction and the density of the lines creates an undulating landscape. It's come to my mind again now due to my thinking of optical illusions and creating a illusion of movement or 3 dimensions on a flat piece of fabric.
