White (negative) lines crossing in front of (and behind) black (positive) lines create increasingly
complex spatial relationships.
Lines together produce rhythm. Equally spaced, a set of lines produces an even, relatively static
tempo; differences in space produce a dynamic, syncopated tempo. The kind of spatial difference
introduced between lines affects the perceived rhythm, and might create meaning: progression, se-
quence, repetition, or system. Such rhythmic changes in interval create directional movement; the
more complex the changes, and the more variation in line weights, the more complex the rhythm
and movement become.
