Jest [planting the thorn]:
Digital Composition 2022no.13
______________________________________
Jest [planting the thorn]: Digital Composition 2022no.13 is a sequence of image files developed from a set of stock photos and illustrations into layers of abstract patterned forms. The layers of pattern and form follow an underlying grid structure keyed to the overall format.  
The quote is from Richard Brinsley Sheridan's, The School for Scandal, Act One (1777).  The line is spoken by the hypocritical moralist, Joseph Surface: "To smile at the jest that plants a thorn in another's breast is to become a principal in the mischief."
Below is a  video presentation of the image-sequence followed by a selection of still images from the composition's development thus far.
