I started to count the number of triangles in this painting. Then I decided it would take longer than it did to complete it. I estimate over 5000, though.
I use the triangles as an anti-grid. Although the image consists of individual units (triangles), they are irregular and individual, each triangle contributing its own important function to make the whole. This is in contrast to a gridded or pixelated image, in which all units are identical except for color and intensity. Can you place the metaphor?

This is absolutely amazing, and I can't wait to see this in person one day. How you managed delicate soft tissue in such a way using triangles is incredible. I feel as though I could reach out and touch the underneath portions of her jawline and feel softness. You take on such challenges and come out the victor, love it.
