I tried experimenting with mark making and using it to shade each section. I wanted to see if it worked like tone instead of using colour.
I made the background black (like it would in a relief print) to contrast it against the white space. Close up there is variation in the marks but loking at it from a distance, it doesn't seem to work very well at all.
It's not a very good fit, so I think I'l try experiment with something else.
