Soon, I wanted to step away from the computer to work with more natural materials, and I began to draw the grids with India ink on clay boards. I'd first mark out the grid in pencil, then overlay in ink on a natural porous material pulled from riverbeds.

I started with Shakyamuni Buddha (the historical Buddha) whose grid is entirely symmetrical, expanding and aligning his grid into a rectangular composition.

These pieces aren't interactive, but I do have dynamic screen-based works in the series I'll be posting soon and you can see one now at www.snibbe.com/art/hidden-g... (or come visit the studio!)

Wonderful! My daughter and I have listened to the vast majority of your episodes together - it's the only podcast we both find equally delightful.
