Day 2 of

Today, I'm sharing a project that got stalled and I hope to come back to it eventually.

This one is created with code, inspired by Chemistry and Physics. I create my particles and let them 'bounce around'. As they collide, they 'draw' traces, and so the image slowly develops. In this piece, I'm constricting the spaces the particles can play in to rectangles that look like they could be a quilt.

@kristinHenry I love these so much! They definitely seem textile-y to me. They make my brain fizzy with ideas. ❤️

@KatyKnits I love the idea of making brains fizzy with ideas :D

@kristinHenry I’m fascinated by the chemistry and physics that inspired you.

@KatyKnits I was working on a chemistry simulation for students. The goal was to create an animation of how atoms bounce around and only form bonds (and molecules) when they can.

I was debugging my code, visually, and was adding extra graphics when the atoms collided.

I liked how the debugging looked, so I save it to play with after I'd finished the work.

And I've been playing with that ever since.

@KatyKnits electron orbitals also play a big part in my art, even in my hand drawn works.

The spaces that electrons exist in have specific geometries, and the ways atoms bond and form molecules are shaped by these geometries.

I'm still fascinated by all of this, all these years as after my student days, and it influences so much of my work.
