Another local native plant portrait with code. This time of Skunk Cabbage (Symplocarpus foetidus). I left it a bit expressively weird, because... personality.
I think I should make a little series of botanical sketches (in my chosen medium of code, of course) of local native plants. Maybe I'll set them into a pattern later.
𝘈𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘖𝘶𝘳 𝘍𝘭𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘐𝘴 𝘔𝘶𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭 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 moiré 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 moiré interference patterns: complex shades and textures, the emergent properties of shape and color, paint and paper.
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.
