Bending the Grid – Mike Baker
HONORABLE MENTION IN ABSTRACT
Mike Baker
Title:
Bending the Grid
Description
Bending the Grid begins with a small fragment of a much larger architectural structure. By isolating form from context, the familiar becomes unfamiliar, revealing a quiet tension between order and movement. The disciplined geometry of the façade gives way to sweeping curves, transforming architecture into abstraction. What appears fixed begins to drift; what seems certain becomes fluid. Reduced to its essential elements of line, shape, and tone, the image invites viewers to look beyond the obvious and consider the delicate balance between structure and change.
