Trevor,
I was experimenting with various objects and don't recall exactly which one
these were but I believe one was a piece of yellow clay and other was a batter
and the third was a red dry-erase market cap. The cap was "sculptured" and that
probably gave rise to the texture of the central band. I forget if there was
any leaning or such of the objects (BTW, the turnable was a regular one and the
photograph was simply turned 90 degrees to make it a horizontal).
I had in the past often mentioned one could make pictures like this but
generally dismissed them as only having highly specific technical application
while mentioning that if what you wanted was patterns this method was one that
would generate them. Lately computer geeks have been simulating what a linear
array (and before that "streak" and "strip" film cameras) can do and I thought
maybe it is time to get into the "frey" with a few more timely decorative
images.
cheerio,
andy
