One hole reaches the edge

I kept the whole sheet and moved only one hole.

Open row, 2026. Selected digital drawing.
Open row, 2026. Selected digital drawing.

I first shifted an entire row. It made the operation too easy to see. Moving only one hole left the rest of the field quite ordinary.

Rust red made the circles look like dots. On the darker grey, I see the surrounding space coming through. The very light grey felt too faint.

I tried getting closer. The opening grew, but the sheet stopped feeling enclosed. I kept the full drawing, with its small breach near the right edge.

Digital drawing and saved colour and framing tests. No card was physically punched.

最初は一列を丸ごとずらした。操作がすぐに見えてしまった。穴をひとつだけ動かすと、残りはごく普通のままだった。

赤褐色では、円が点に見えた。濃い灰色では、周りの空間が穴を通って見える。薄い灰色では、全体が淡くなりすぎた。

近くに寄ることも試した。開口部は大きくなったが、紙面の囲まれた感じがなくなった。右の縁に小さな切れ目がある、全体の見える絵を選んだ。

デジタルドローイングと、保存した色・画角の比較。実物のカードに穴を開けたものではない。

The same geometry on rust red, graphite grey and light grey. Enlarged edge details below.

Full sheet and rejected crop. The closer view lost the sheet that made the opening small.
