Work in progress 
The grey MDF board has diagonal and vertical lines etched into it. 

The central mass is of 9 hexagons.  Each Hexagon is a word. They are linked by single twisting greyish-white line. 

This line is woven through selected parts of each Hexagon.

I like the off centre nature of it, but wonder if it should be more balanced.

Like the previous image the board is inscribed with diagonals.  

The image consists of 8 hexagons of varying sizes. It is very roughly painted, with little respect for edges.


The colour of this board is a pale cold blue( titanium white 60% and ultramarine blue 40% with added medium and charcoal stain)

The hexagons are painted black and blue. The black is graphite and oil medium. 

There is currently no labyrinthine line linking the hexagons. There will be in time.

And with yesterday's work I've got all 6 of the current hexcyphers plotted (?) out on my boards. My big focus now will be getting the studio ready for open up Sheffield. Then choosing pallets for the 6 works.

5 hexagons connected via white wriggling line. The other spaces in the hexagons are painted in a relatively flat manner.

The surface of the board is scored. The colours used are thin washes of cadmium yellow and cadmium orange with a little raw umber and alizarin crimson mixed in. Very very small amounts. 

The colours are liable to be altered a bit but essentially the pallet will be yellow, orange and grey. I might not be able to resist putting some blues into it.

Another detail shot showing the surface and a closer look at the white line.

A final detail shot showing the marks I will be making in a mixture of charcoal, pencil, and paint. They are also a cypher but based on the celt ogham system. 

The play between the ancient written systems and the digital binary system I use in the hexagons makes me all silly happy. ๐Ÿ˜œ

Finally it feels like there is a functional process to these hexcyphers.

Ideas and theoretical research are starting to connect with the physical objects.
