Here it is.

dimensional weave sample 20160708
Both the foil and the mesh responded well to the crimping tool. The framing system worked very well to keep the strip ends firmly in place.
I like the idea of a surreal fly-screen.
Some more views.
The major ideas which might be coalescing at the moment:
Formal strategies
* weave structures
* corrugations – creating light, shadow and movement. Also firm up the loops.
* metal – reflections
To explore ideas of
* Fontana’s infinite dimension – “[cutting] between the space occupied by the viewer, through the surface of the canvas, to the space that lies beyond” (12-Jun-2016)
* The orthogonal – exploring / breaking that constraint? constant? in weave
* gravity – partner to orthogonal.
The frame is visually light. It defines a plane, but is supportive rather than insistent.
What’s next?
* Rearranging the metal sample to various areas of looseness and more grid-like.
* Trying different materials through the crimper. I’d like to take better advantage of the reflections.
* I want to do grid-influenced sketching. Don’t know what that means yet.
* Frames within frames? Can I extend this structure?
