Lye is interested in motion as a language of art.
Vibrating sensation through sequence of vivid colours and repeated patterns inspired by tribal art characterises Len Lye's work.
It has vast influence in the history of music video.

Applying what I have learnt from Len Lye's work:
 |
| Potato Stamp Pattern Test |
 |
| Mark making using paints and dyes by Len Lye compared to the organic look of the potato stamp |
 |
| Marks conveying a sequence of motion |
 |
| Repeating patterns in a direction |
 |
| Variation of overlapping patterns |
 |
| Brushing action |
 |
| Patterns Len Lye's work is inspired by tribal art and cave paintings |
There are other exceptions of some monochromatic films and sketches
 |
| Primitivism in Free Radicals and Tusalava: messy, strong lines brings out the energy of the jitter |
 |
| Study Sketches: Mapping the impression of movement through patterns |
