Robert P. Taylor's: Chippery - Portraits on Paint Chips

One Chip
Two Revelatory Orientations

Two or more orientations of a single chip may that each suggest a different portrait. Above is typical example. Left is the chip which, as oriented, stimulated the image development in Realizing the Portrait in the Chip. This orientation immediately suggested an image, whereas the other orientations examined did not (see Finding a Revelatory Orientation). Not at first. However, after the first image was completed, a second orientation - arrived at by looking at the reverse side of the chip (first inset, left in Finding a Revelatory Orientation and center inset above ), looked well worth considering further. When rotated about 30 degrees counter-clockwise (right inset above), that alternative orientation immediately suggested an image: a man in profile, but heavier and more jovial than the first. Completing the image is illustrated below, from left to right. Chippery presents an example of three portraits from the same chip, in One Chip, Two Sides, Three Portraits, below.
