I have been working on these art works for months developing ideas with sketch books and using a restricted colour palette. I also started producing paintings for the concept but that took too long to execute and was frustrating my progress as it took so long to finish even a small scale painting. To get the momentum back into the artwork I made use of working with the digital format which from my point of view has been very satisfying and given the project back the energy that it required.

Strangely after I had started producing these artworks I noticed a new bar code system on food products that was in a new square format and very similar to the paintings I was working on, after a bit of research I found out that they were called Data Matrix symbols and that they also use a binary code system to store product data. I love the synchronicity taking place here with some of my previous artworks and the twists and turns of projects that I am working on.
