The Concept Of Form - The Beginning Stages

The Expanding Trapezium

Below is the starting image of my form - The expanding trapezium. Using Processing 1.5.1, I used coding to create the form pictured below. The quad was my main 2D primitive when making this pattern

 

The starting point for my project. Note that there are five shapes apparent in this image. In my printout, you will be shown how the number of shapes decrease.

Below is the precedent image for my form. It consists of a ray of light that increases as it progresses, in relation to my form of rhombuses

 The Process

Using the image as a starting base, I played around with the coding to create a printout consisting of 25 variations of this form. The 25 variations tell a story of the expanding trapezium, and how it formed into a single shape. Using Processing 1.5.1, I changed the parameters of each form/shape to create a shrinking ray of light involving a series of rhombuses ina a diagonal order. For my final variation, I simply played around with the parameters and the sizing, creating a sort of messed up replica of my original image
