This was a preliminary study after creating computer code that drew intersecting lines.  I extruded the areas made by the lines to a height equal to their area.  For example, if an shape’s area was 36 square units, the extrusion of that shape is 36 units.  Cameras were then placed within the formations.  Transparency, reflectivity, and refraction all contribute to the dramatic effect.  I liked the design enough to create four 2′ x 4′ canvases to hang in my living room!
