The Circle Project

Richard Sarson, a graduate of the Royal College of Art, has created a very interesting project known as The Circle Project.

I like to organise things, especially shapes. These drawings emerged from random doodles with a compass, tracing the same circle over and over again until a pattern was created. Each drawing measures 840 x 590mm in size and there are over a thousand circles drawn on a grid of 104 points. The appearance is determined by the coloured pens used, the amount of circles and distance between each compass point.

Drawings created with a compass and felt-tip / magic marker pens. Over 1000
circles are hand-drawn for each piece with the colours chosen completely at
random. Created by recent graduate of the Royal College of Art: Richard Sarson
the drawings are the result of an obsession with pattern and symmetry along
with the desire to create complex images using simple things.

The precision and repetition of the shapes is simply amazing.
