The Kick-About #113 ‘Magic Lantern’
Following the optical excitements of our last Kick-About—inspired by Victor Vasarely—this week’s collection of new works made in a short time dims the lights and invites us to marvel at the illuminations of the magic… Read more

After Vasarely #2 (2024)
A second set of Victor Vasarely-inspired images produced for this week’s Kick-About; I think I was spawning alien eggs by the time my enthusiasm wound down finally—but I particularly liked the final image, reminding me… Read more
