Paper Patters-
I didn’t go into this challenge with a plan but I wanted it to be as free and experimental as possible. The first cuts I made were mostly made up of angular and triangle based shapes, these I had at angles and set on top of each other to create an overlapped and unique shape. the first cuts I made I tried to take at least 8 different pictures for each cut or series of cuts. this way I could document how much the shapes changed through both the cutting process and and also with the ways in which I set the paper out on the page. As I got further along with the process I got more confident and free with the cuts that I was making and this helped a lot with the pattern. I began to break the shapes down from more complex shapes back into the simple triangular shapes from the beginning as I thought that these were the most effective. In the process I also used squares and rectangular shapes but the felt too boring to me and didn’t have as much of a flow as what the triangles did, this is why i chose to break them down into triangles also until I got the the last pattern being made up of diverse sized and shaped triangles. I thought that they would look good if they were somewhat cascading down the page in clusters slowly getting smaller, I really enjoy the pattern that I was left with in the end.
