Description/Abstract: | The new work, entitled "Optical Series," demonstrated a departure in content and technique from the earlier figurative designs. Neil developed a method of mark making and printing to convey an uncontrollable or serendipitous quality of line drawing. He experimented with ways of making spontaneous marks in various paints, resin, varnish, dyes and bleach which were then translated onto silk screen. The finished piece evokes a sense of the technological landscape; ironically it has an architectural quality yet is devoid of literal reference. |
