CMY Tangled Squares, a work originally conceived April 2018 and been evolving and iterating ever since. The abstract works can be enjoyed far away as well as close up. Using only three primary ink colors, the movement and flows of the strokes endlessly flow across the page. Many see things is the swirls of line and color. What do you see?
Remember that sashiko stitching inspired design I did a few weeks ago? I finally tried plotting it. To me, it’s very reminiscent of chrysanthemum flowers. What do you see?
Plotted on a HP 7585B from 1983 on 11x15 watercolor paper.
Today's #inkyDays drawing turned out rather nicely, so I decided to try the pattern on watercolor paper. I just love how the inks interact with the fine paper.
Red hot Truchet tiles in vermillion, magenta, and red violet. Printed on a HP 7585B pen plotter from 1983 on 11x15 watercolor paper. A slight detour of my usual CMY palette 😀
A quick peak behind the scenes! To produce this series, I created 128 iterations of the program and selected 8 for plotting. Here's what they all look like.
I find the curatorial aspect of generative art to be one of the most enjoyable. Selecting iterations that produce an interesting composition is where I feel the human element is most clearly expressed in this art form.
