Hamonshū (1903)

[secretgeometry]

The two paintings Celeste made sent me on an enjoyable tangent. I was particularly interested in the c-shaped figures she painted inside a circular arrangement of squares--those c-shapes reminded me of whirlpools or waves. I see something like that in the complicated linework of da Vinci’s Deluge drawings, which, in turn, made me think of two different Japanese wave pictures. From there I remembered Louise Bourgeoise’s use of sketchy ink line to build form. The second Bourgeoise drawing brought to mind the iconic image on the cover of Joy Division’s 1979 album, Unknown Pleasures. That graphic was actually an astronomer’s depiction of signals detected from a distant pulsar. It is my understanding that the illustration was created as a collage: a single, continuous linear waveform was cut up and the pieces were pasted in a column, on top of one another, to create an image showing changes in the nature of the pulse over time.
