In the 1960s many of the artists who worked at Atelier 17 began exploring a more fluid line and spacial qualities of water and rippled surfaces. Much of this experimentation developed into the OpArt movement. In this image Lodge creates a fluid pattern, a kind of moire that creates a depth by the use of the line, an image that can be disturbing to the eye, causing the viewer to adjust or look away. The image and its "color" can change with distance and focus.
