the main approache of E-PASTEL II is taken by the gestural drawing/scribbles; countless overlays of lines thrown out as if from a quick, expressive gesture, of the most varied strength and color. layered over and over each other, building up a fine and dense multicolored fabric, reminding me sometimes of certain pastel drawing techniques.
another approach is the inaccuracy/disintegration structure; the principle of having a theoretical idea, but a pretty imperfect realization or decay over time. in a way that we often encounter in life.
but there is most certainly a more unsentimental approach; the fascination of thousands of overlapping lines, which gradually reveal shapes. the basic joy of playing and experimenting with elementary shapes and colors. the depth and complexity of these mikado structures become a visible experience at the latest with relatively large printouts one can perceive this dense impenetrable and seemingly never fully discernible structural space.
furthermore, by using a combination of random pixel sorting blurs, a slightly randomized grain structure and various blending effects, certain decay processes are simulated, thereby adding another layer, a kind of time/decay layer.
