Where do all the lines go? (The White King Collection)

'White King X'

'White King X' is created by the tessellation of the original 'White King IX'. The perspective structure used in 'White King IX' allows you it illustrate one eighth of our environment, however, what happens when you want to represent more than one eighth? Can you use the same structure?

Four separate images were used and aligned to form a circle, where the perimeter of the circle represents the horizon line.

Colour Options: Graphite (B&W) / Silver (Colour One) / Bronze (Colour Two)

Artist's Comments - 'White King X'

I have always found 'Circular Perspective Structures' fascinating, how their curved lines perfectly belong to the circle in which they are framed. The qualities of this structure can allow the representation of entire environments and enable you to do this seamlessly. This structure is a crucial element and has a rightful place in any of my collections.

 

The structure used to create 'White King IX' can only be tessellated to form a circle which represents half of the total environment ('White King X') and an additional second outer structure is needed to show the rest. 'White King XI' represents a complete environment and incorporats both structures.
