Rook & Fiasko
I’ve been looking at how a mural can be seen as a puzzle, a map of hidden patterns that only a keen eye can read. How would you frame that chaos in terms of a strategy you can actually follow?
First grab a blank wall, splash a base layer, then let the colors talk in shards of meaning, no script, just a loose outline of what feels right. After that, lay out your symbols like a secret code—pick a motif, repeat it in different sizes, twist it into something that looks ordinary but hides a pattern when you step back. Keep a sketch book of each iteration, but don’t finish anything until the wall whispers what it wants. Finally, invite people to decode the layers; their eyes will find the hidden map and that’s the chaos you painted.
That sounds like a careful way to let the work breathe—an elegant balance between spontaneity and control. I’d watch for the subtle shifts in light on the wall; those often hint at where the hidden map wants to lead. Keep a quiet notebook of those moments—often the best strategy emerges when the silence speaks.
