Dot Field

A field of dotted samples that rebuilds the image from painted points.

In the mid-1880s Georges Seurat and Paul Signac developed Neo-Impressionist methods grounded in optical colour theory, laying small touches of pure colour to mix in the eye.

Dot Field rebuilds a photograph from dotted samples in that spirit: structure held by points, colour buzzing at a distance.
