The surface, I am trying to focus on the surface and its dimensions. For that reason it is nice to be able to use the balanced proportions of the golden ratio. The dimensions of a golden ratio sheet of paper that is locked up in an A4 sheet of paper is quite smaller than an A4. The photo up here shows some A4 sheets of paper, 2 golden ratio sheets of paper and three sit, lie & stand sheets of paper cut to proportions with the same square centimetres. An A4 has the dimensions 29,7 x 21 centimetres, a golden ratio sized sheet of paper cut from an A4 sheet of paper has the dimensions 29,7 x 18,4 centimetres.
To construct the golden ratio rectangle it is necessary to use a square. The square is an integral part of a golden ratio rectangle. Drawing the construction lines already there through connecting edges and continuing drawing from crossing lines is easy, no inspiration or special skills are necessary. The drawing is in the paper like the sculpture is in the stone.
Drawn on Epson Premium Glossy Photo paper with its glossy coating. Playing with the possibilities is started, erasing and scratching into the paper is part of the game. Golden ratio and palimpsest techniques are subject of research, of practical artistic research.
