Dawson Apophenia versus Randomania

>Apophenia versus Randomania, series of relief drawings, 3D printed in a plant-starch bioplastic and mounted on Dibond aluminium composite panels.

These works see Dawson become ever more playful with the 3D print process as he puts the machine to work by creating unique small scale drawings. In these wall based sculptures Dawson deftly changes colour mid print to create vivid patterns and profiles which illuminate the complex and continuous pathway that the 3D printer nozzle makes during printing. The profiles and shapes in these works derive from hand movements which Dawson has scanned and introduced digitally into the works.
