These efforts indicated that accentuated
patterns can be achieved, but they are unfortunately
highly irregular in the spread direction of the film.
Whitney's paintings follow a
highly sophisticated and
irregular pattern, developed to allow for the coinciding, booming resonances of discrete color to cross and connect in a deeply affecting harmony that is never resolved.
«A climate
pattern may come in the form of a regular cycle, like the diurnal cycle or the seasonal cycle; a quasi periodic event, like El Niño; or a
highly irregular event, such as a volcanic winter... A mode of variability is a climate
pattern with identifiable characteristics, specific regional effects, and often oscillatory behavior... the mode of variability with the greatest effect on climates worldwide is the seasonal cycle, followed by El Niño - Southern Oscillation, followed by thermohaline circulation.»
