Scala I

Scala I

Scala means stairs, scale, measuring tool, ladder.

Scala is also the name of a programming language.

It works with pattern matching, a symbol-processing method that identifies discrete structures based on a given pattern.

The picture Scala I is the first of this series. The Pictures in the series show colour fields, patterns, layering and superimpositions. 

Prints and drawings are incorporated.

Colours form puddles, pools and rivulets.

Structures are identified, remain discreetly in the background. 

A grid lies over the pictures, dividing the surface into stripes lengthwise and crosswise, into fields and sections.

The grid gives the pictures a structure that may be broken through.

The grid forms a scale, not a restriction.

Chaos and order.
