Conditional design is fascinating to me. Prefacing this project with research into conditional design provided me with a perspective that would not have been possible if I set out to make the same work without background information on the rule making process and the incredible success that it can produce as a method for creating work. Setting out simple rules–same design, four alternating colors, and an increasing number of cut outs with each plot–created an interesting collection of work that otherwise would not have occurred.
