When I was studying a Bachelor of Fine Art – Printmaking at the Centre for the Arts on Hunter st, Nipaluna / Hobart, in the year 2008 I created a project called:
‘A Visual Interpretation of Incidental Geometry Observed in my Everyday Experiences‘
Incidentally, what emerged wasn’t very geometric. It was mostly tree and water shapes, and the lines created by the direction of their energy.
Some of Tree, Spaceship Tree and X were related to the project.
I carried my etching plates back and forth across Nipaluna / Hobart and along the Rivulet many times, scratching them while overlooking the bay from the Printmaking Studio, and scratching them at my home in South Hobart which overlooked the bay from a different angle.
Scratching the bitumen with a nail, making the etching plate for the following piece ‘Untitled’, 2008. The piece was displayed at The Henry Jones Art Hotel in Nipaluna / Hobart:

This piece was created for a group exhibition named ‘Interpreting 12’ in Nipaluna / Hobart in 2008. The exhibition theme was to create a piece that interpreted the number 12 in some way. I named the piece ’33 1/3′. The exhibition was also a competition, and this piece won the ‘People’s Choice Award’:

Most of this work was included in my exhibition ‘Incidental Lines’ at Entrepot Gallery at the Centre for the Arts, Nipaluna / Hobart in 2008.

Later on in Naarm / Melbourne I made my first GIF with the shapes:
After I had returned to Naarm / Melbourne, I continued drawing in a similar way with a lot of repetitive lines but instead of scratching etchings with a nail, I started drawing them with archival pens. These next two were done with a metallic silver pen:
