The design of the artworks came by instinct at first, but it became apparent that I was dealing with a visual language that seemed to have its own rules of grammar, sentence structure and form. What was discovered by trial or instinct could prove to be one of these rules that would apply to other similar situations with the circuitry design. How repetition or disrupted- repetition worked, or removing a visually distracting part of a circuit board. How the eye caught the flow of lines in unexpected ways. How density of the circuitry played into the overall flow. How by choosing the right boldness or intricacy of the circuitry, a piece could be made to visually work well seen at a distance and equally well but very differently when seen close. Combining the circuitry in certain ways could provoke the feeling of eloquent prose, other ways of eccentric poetry. It was the circuitry itself that taught me its language.
