My work explores the concept of emergent properties – how complex systems arise from simple interactions. I am fascinated by the patterns that emerge from repetition and subtle variation.

𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘦 𝘈𝘳𝘦 𝘌𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘺 𝘐𝘯𝘵𝘶𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴, 𝘛𝘰 𝘉𝘦 𝘛𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘥 is a series of drawings created with a plotter. The plotter follows instructions produced by a generative algorithm that creates a unique output each time it runs.
Multiple sine wave oscillation functions, combined with procedurally generated noise, alter the size and orientation of 2,052 straight line segments.
Soft curves emerge from hard edges.

When does an abstract arrangement of lines begin to resemble a memory? When does a collection of brain cells begin to form an opinion about the world? When does a series of neural networks and machine learning algorithms become self-aware? I asked myself these questions a lot while working on this series.
𝙎𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙎𝙚𝙩𝙨 𝙐𝙨 𝘼𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙩 is a long-form 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.
Multiple sine wave oscillation functions, combined with procedurally generated noise, alter the size and orientation of hundreds of paint strokes, using one of seven color palettes.
now I get to sift through a pile of these weird little guys #workinprogress #generativeart #plotterart #abstractart #creativecoding #p5js #genartclub #mastoart #moire
New studio space!! It’s going to take some time to settle in but it is already a great space to work.
