Geometry

I was trying to create a slight disturbance in a piece I did quite recently. The idea was to make something that caught the eye, not because of colours, but of the shape alone (or rather a disturbance in geometric shapes). I realise now while writing that this was quite a strange idea given the material. Perhaps not because of the material itself, rather this line of work.

Where glossy surfaces and seamless designs seem to be the most commonly sought. That of course being my idea of a boring approach, and some way of me justifying my work right now.

I started with two nice squares. While I had the pieces in my hand I tried to shift them over each other to see wich position I liked the most.
After a while I decided that the two squares were just a bit too square.

You can see in the picture that I decided that the two shapes should interfere with each other rather than just being there along with each other. I decided that one square should win and eat a piece of the other square. I did not put it that way there and then, but at the time of writing I just can't stop myself.
That not being horrible enough I made them live next to each other.

I do not know wich one suffers the most, the one that was eaten or the one who did the eating. Also, I did not assemble them exactly nice, at the time I was quite fed up with the geometric shapes and wanted to work with different surfaces and soldering. So I kept going, abandonding the idea of exact geometry and working more on the disturbances of shapes.

I made it glossy and in my opinion nice looking anyway. So the original idea was somehow lost in the making. It became something else. I often like those ideas that take their own shape and evolve to something else. But sometimes I wonder if it's a mistake to work some ideas through. I thought of this and decided that it would be another idea to highlight some parts that perhaps could be seen as mistakes.

Yes, the highlights are close to black.
