As a catalog of 12x14 the composition becomes almost architectural in itself. The fixed format acts like a regulating grid—your constant—while the internal conditions of each piece shift. Repetition of scale creates comparability: viewers start to read the works relationally, noticing small deviations, recurring gestures, and moments where a visual logic nearly stabilizes before slipping again. Meaning doesn’t announce itself all at once; it accumulates through proximity and repetition.

Across the catalog, the works function like variations in a system under stress. Some pieces lean more heavily into geometry or legibility; others allow material behavior, erosion, or visual noise to dominate. The uniform size frames entropy as incremental rather than catastrophic—change measured in degrees, not explosions. Seen together, the set reads less like twelve isolated artworks and more like a single evolving field, sampled at different moments.

In this way, Borderline Entropy becomes a study of thresholds. Design loosens just enough to let instability perform. Perception sharpens because resolution is withheld. The catalog format reinforces the idea that disorder isn’t random here—it’s curated, paced, and composed, rewarding close and repeated viewing as patterns quietly emerge and then undo themselves.
