This weekend I took time to create more abstractions. The threshold in Illustrator was tweaked with each one to get the desired look. Some worked best near default settings, others improved with changes. I will work from these to create even further abstracted pieces. Some images I am more interested in the white space, others the black space is more intriguing. As of now I might switch between the black and white depending on what is more interesting in the image. Should I stay consistent in the spaces I'm exploring? Does it matter if I'm exploring the negative space, or the buildings themselves if both are creating shapes of interest? These are questions I ask myself as I continue to hone my work down to more finalized pieces.
I'm not understanding the objective here, but suppose that at these levels of abstraction, there comes a point where you might combine derivations from two or more different buildings, perhaps returning some color to the respective components).
