Dot

Twenty prints built from a single mark, the dot. Halftones, grids, spirals and fields, each one worked out by rule and drawn flat, so the picture comes from how the dots are counted, sized and placed.

A regular grid of small clay dots covers a bone ground; inside the shape of a large crescent the dots swell to nearly touching, and the edge of the moon is nothing but the place where they change size.Halftone CrescentNo. 1
A staggered grid of black dots swells slowly from invisible at the top to almost solid at the bottom.Halftone FallNo. 2
Black dots stand in exact rows on a warm grey ground, and one clay-red dot near the lower right has slipped from its place.Out of LineNo. 3
About nine hundred gold dots, each turned 137.5 degrees from the last, fan out from the centre into a large disc on black.SunflowerNo. 4
Rings of evenly spaced cream dots grow outward from a small orange centre and run off all four edges of a navy ground, each ring turned slightly from the one inside it and its dots a little fuller.RingsNo. 5
A curving line of eleven teal dots on bone swells from a speck in the upper left to a broad circle at the lower right.CrescendoNo. 6
Dots step from dense navy at the top through a sand-flecked dusk to a ring of growing sand dots around a bare cream sun on the horizon. Below it a navy sea carries a path of sand dots, broken into short ripples, that widens as it comes forward.Pointillist SunsetNo. 7
Hundreds of tiny grey stars cover a deep blue-black ground, thickening into a faint lane that runs up from the lower left. Five groups of brighter cream stars of different sizes are joined by fine lines that stop just short of each star.Invented StarsNo. 8
A coral halftone disc at the upper left and a blue one at the lower right overlap on paper; where their dots cross they print a deep violet and a faint moiré appears.Riso OffsetNo. 9
A grid of small indigo dots covers a bone ground. Inside a tall pointed arch the dots grow to almost touching, so the arch reads as solid from across the room and as a screen of dots close up. A single gold dot sits under its point.Halftone ArchNo. 10
Seven strands of dots hang in nested curves near the top of a teal ground, each one wider and lower than the last. Along every strand the dots grow from small at the ends to largest at the lowest point; two of the strands are gold, the rest cream.StrandsNo. 11
One line of evenly spaced clay-red dots coils out from the centre of a cream ground, each dot a little larger than the last.CoilNo. 12
Twenty moons on black, read left to right and down, run through one true cycle: a thin waxing crescent lit on the right grows to a half, a gibbous and a full disc, then wanes on the left to a last sliver.Twenty PhasesNo. 13
Four rolling ridges fill the lower half of a bone ground, all on one grid of dots that are fullest along each crest and thin out below it. A flat gold sun hangs above the farthest ridge.Halftone HillsNo. 14
On a black ground, a gold disc built from dots that shrink towards its rim is almost covered by a black disc, leaving a curved gold crescent at the lower left that fades into a halo.EclipseNo. 15
Twelve spokes and twelve rings of clay dots, larger where they cross, build a rosette on a cream ground, with twelve overlapping circles of finer dots tracing its petals. Gold dots mark three of the rings at the spokes and a gold disc sits at the centre.Dotted RosetteNo. 16
A grid of dots covers a deep navy ground. Inside a large eight-pointed star the dots swell to full apricot, thinning towards its edges; a smaller star at its heart is set in clay, and outside it faint blue dots fade away like a halo.Dotted StarNo. 17
A screen of clay and gold dots on cream, sized so that a tiling appears: clay eight-pointed stars set point to point, with gold crosses filling the spaces between them.Star and CrossNo. 18
On a deep teal ground screened with faint dots, ninety-nine small cream dots form a single ring, split into three equal runs by two gold dots. Where the ring closes at the bottom a larger gold dot hangs, with a short stem and a fan of fine cream dots below it.Ninety-NineNo. 19
A field of black dots on paper in only two sizes, set out so that rows of cubes stand up from the sheet: the tops are bare paper, the left sides are screened with small dots and the right sides with dots so large they almost touch. One cube in the lower right is printed in clay.Tumbling BlocksNo. 20
