Abstract on Visual Cinnamon

“Waves and Lines, Interlocking, Interweaving, Ever Flowing, Fixed in Time” The wavʌves collection (pronounced waves), a mid-century modern inspired generative art set of 144 pieces, was created for the “N=12” exhibition on Feral File. It leverages a playful use of color to convey a sense of interaction. Distinct blocks combine with groups of fluid lines, suggesting the parallel creative processes and intersecting practices at the heart of the N=12. I’ve left it intentionally abstract and left it to the viewer for interpretation.

The Essence of Us

Mon, 27 Mar 2023 00:00:00 +0000

“The Essence of Us” is a subtly moving data art piece that asks the question “What defines Human Culture?” through the lens of the 5000+ exoplanets that have been discovered since the first in 1992. Data about the exoplanets is mapped to every visual aspect that you see. Earth, Us, is symbolically placed us in the center, and every spiral around it is one exoplanet. My intent was to create a slowly moving piece that you can stare into and wonder about that initial question, what defines human culture as a whole? This piece is still available for sale

Coiling Curves

“Coiling Curves” is a small collection of three artworks sold digitally and two turned into high quality wooden jigsaw puzzles. These pieces came from a tangent of one of my many spirograph base explorations. These take the spirograph paths and turn them into chunky, vibrant loops that weave into each other.

As yet another exploration of spirographs, I looked into making some “chunky” spirographs (using a vibrant color palette). The chunky-ness of the results didn’t turn each output from the algorithm into a visually beautiful result. However, when “all the stars aligned” it had some amazing results! I therefore knew I wanted to turn this into a tiny set of less than 10 pieces that I would manually pick (from hundreds of outputs). Finally, three Coiling Curves were sold as some of my first NFTs on Foundation in the summer of 2021. You can see them here: #1, #2 & #3.

Twistings / Curated

Mon, 10 Oct 2022 00:00:00 +0000

A generative art collection of seven pieces that I meticulously hand-picked from over 1000 outputs of the “Twistings” algorithm, which explores the beauty & variety that is hidden within the simple math of Archimedean spirals. Each piece in the collection is created from the same underlying spiral-based algorithm. All seven works use slightly different mathematical settings of the spiral formulas, fine-tuned to reveal the circular entity it represents: Drops, Circles, Fireworks, Flowers, Roses, Spirals & Twisters.

Twistings / Explore

“Twistings” is a generative art collection of 256 pieces that was released on fxhash. It explores the beauty & variety that is hidden within the simple math of Archimedean spirals. Each piece in the collection is created from the same underlying spiral-based algorithm. There are seven different circular “entities”, each brought forward by using slightly different mathematical settings of the spiral formulas: Drops, Circles, Fireworks, Flowers, Roses, Spirals & Twisters.

Obscured

Mon, 08 Aug 2022 00:00:00 +0000

“Obscured” is a collection I created for the Unpredictable Lines exhibition held by C-VERSO / Cortesi Gallery between 7 July - 5 August, 2022 in Milan. Although you see dozens or even hundreds of triangles, some fully colored, others hatched, no actual lines or corners are drawn. Instead, everything on the canvas is drawn from millions of perfect circles.

Unpredictable Lines

The “Obscured” collection was released during the “Unpredictable Lines” exhibition held by Cortesi Gallery / C-VERSO in Milan, held from July 7th until August 5th, 2022 as part of a group show with three other generative artists.

No actual lines, no masking, no hard edges, instead everything on the canvas is drawn from millions of perfect circles. I wanted to explore how I could create overlapping shapes, lines, and possibly a Moiré effect (although I moved away from the latter early on in the creation process) by using just tiny dots. After some initial tests I was immediately drawn to the gritted texture I could create on the screen. As if I had screen printed, or riso printed the triangles on the canvas.

Dreams of Hubble

Sun, 05 Jun 2022 00:00:00 +0000

“Dreams of Hubble” is a small collection of triptychs, all based on some of the most famous and colorful photos taken by the Hubble Space Telescope. Various layers of triangles elude to the original photo that this piece was created with. It takes the details of the photo to an abstract level bringing it back to its most basic shape and colors. Each part of the triptych shows a different level of this abstraction, from highly abstract to being able to recognize the nebula or galaxy (if one is familiar with the original photo).
