Timothy Armstrong's 'Chromatic Mutations'

       Recently i spent the afternoon at the Doncaster council museum, although i did not look into what exhibitions were being shown prior to arriving but i was pleasantly surprised to come across the work of Timothy Armstrong, an artist i was unaware of up until that point. His work 'Chromatic mutations 1969 ' consisted of  two large geometric wall installations hung side by side. Curved perspex has been used to cause a visual abstraction as the viewer gets closer to to the image by which it appears to flicker and adjust w/ permutations to colour and shape. The picture beneath is made from screen print. I am very interested in creating my own chromatic mutations using similar methods but instead using the patterns of a bus seat fabric. I think optically it will exaggerate the peculiar linear swirls and movements that already exist in the material promoting the surreal and absurd notions of how we travel. I would be interested in keeping the hexagonal frame too, as it complies with the shapes light may make when it shines through a window and has a similar aesthetic quality as the liquid light shows i have been researching. 

It seems little is known about Armstrong, however i'm researching his work further to see if there any other mutations and what his work is primarily about.
