๐๐ญ๐ญ ๐ฐ๐ง ๐๐ถ๐ณ ๐๐ญ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ณ๐ช๐ด๐ฉ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐๐ด ๐๐ถ๐ต๐ถ๐ข๐ญ is a series of paintings created with a robotic pen plotter. The robot follows instructions produced by a generative algorithm that creates a unique output each time it runs. This is the sixth painting in the series. Various acrylic paints were applied to Stonehenge acid-free cotton paper. Custom framing by Nielsen Arts in Albany, CA.
My works are serial in nature. They are the physical manifestations of the generative programs I create. There is a unique partnership, a transference of powers, when bits of information become paint on paper.
Thousands of line forms layer atop of each other, producing moirรฉ interference patterns: the emergent properties of shape and color, paint and paper.

The generative algorithm I designed for this series produces curving forms of various complexity. Each form is made up of hundreds of thin lines. When layered atop each other, they produce moirรฉ interference patterns: complex shades and textures, the emergent properties of shape and color, paint and paper.
โญ๏ธ Creative Coding for Complete Beginners ๐
course in the coming weeks - designed for anyone who has never coded before. It will be run with small class numbers so I can support learners as needed.

More often, I'm putting my work behind a small paywall. Why? To decrease the chance of it being stolen to train AI models without my permission or compensation.
I hate having to do this, but these days I'm thinking it's what independents like me just have to do.

Stupid simple:
Draw a curve from hither to yon
Draw another curve from hither-ish to yon-ish
Interpolate N points on each curve
Draw a chain of triangles
