...very quietly hidden...Related content

Well,I started it as a technical exercise, defined by a simple and narrow set of rules,...namely, a series of lines of approximately the same length formed into co-joined triangles. No exceedingly narrow or very broad-based triangles were to be used. As I worked, I let my mind wander, and when the first part was done, [the linework], I had the idea of a monochromatic gradient. As I applied this, my sub-conscious mind began to influence the work in ways I wasn't fully cognizant of until it was completed, and I could step back and look at what I thought was just an 'interesting pattern'.....it was then that I began to perceive images hidden in the pattern, and the title occurred to me. If this seems too simple, or just a bit daft, you must realize that I work in the traditional 'surrealist' mode frequently, with no real concrete idea what I'm drawing until I'm done.

Oh. Originally it was distorted squares and general randomness, then I started adding lines to make everything triangles. With the 'framework' done, it was up to the colors/shading to tell the story.

Thanks, I actually didn't think much of this one at first, but the more I look at it, th3e better it seems.
