Re-imaging by abstraction inspired by Gerhard Richter
Inspired by a recent workshop with Ian Latham, where we selected one row of pixels in a photograph and created a new image by process of replication as Gerhard Richter did in his "Strips" series of work that can be seen on this link:
I have created another image, as experimentation, from a photograph I took at Silverstone Moto GP 2017, of the big screen monitor opposite where we sat in Maggots & Beckets on the Saturday.

The resulting image is akin to DNA, with one strand containing all the information of that one row of image, when replicated gives something like a coloured barcode unlike the image above, yet the relationship to it can be seen if you study the images.

Although a time consuming process, until, a significant block has been built then that large block can be selected and replicated three times to give a work suitable for A4 print out or larger if resized appropriately.
