Description
A flow field pushed to full rainbow: cyan, magenta, and yellow hatching swirled into marbled currents that read like oil on water, on one of the big 24 × 36 sheets. The title is the plot's timestamp — 3:32 pm, October 9, 2019 — because Rickards names every drawing by the moment the pen started. From the series he describes as "flow fields with additive CMY color hatching to create playful shapes in colorful hues": three transparent inks crossing until the color mixes optically, right on the paper.
