WIP
The studio wall. Tests, fragments, and notes from works in progress, newest first.
Pages from the notebook. Ink, a brush pen and one pink, patterns worked out by hand at the speed the pen moves. The journal collects them as they fill; they also gather under analog.
Contour fields that turn into documents. Worley cells and a grammar of regions, flat and ink voices, bands, strata and moire, then rules and an annotation kit that read like a technical drawing lying …
Cut paper. Shards cut from a stack of coloured sheets and laid back down on a ground, the fills drawn in by hand and a pale cut edge on every piece. All generative, all SVG.
Paint scraped rather than brushed. Slabs of striated colour are dragged across the sheet with a knife, each pass built from hundreds of ragged strokes, greys and blacks and indigo with the colour …
A paint study. The kit torn down and rebuilt: watercolor bleeds, granulation, flow fields and registered hatch, proven on one study sheet before the diagrams get them.
An unnamed fork that kept resurfacing, posted as outputs with no notes, until it turned into a piece and earned a title. This is the whole run, in order.
A series of technical diagrams that forgot what they explain: terraced bars, compass wheels, rulers and runes, ink and loose watercolor on aged paper. All generative, all SVG.
New series. No name and no subject yet. Building the drawing hand first: pen, pencil and brush as SVG line studies.
A grid of striped tiles is laid down in order, then most of it is taken away. A sheet of colour covers the field, and the pattern survives only inside concentric shutters cut from two centres that …
Home from a Hundertwasser exhibition, inspired, making these. All the same SVG codebase. Never to be released.
Daily generative experiments with new tools, code, techniques, and ideas.
Genuary 2025, day 13: triangles and nothing else. 100 percent JavaScript and SVG, no framework.
Yrsa is a field of overlapping circles, each holding a random count of inner rings, named for the Norse queen whose story is layers within layers. Built in p5.js for fxhash, and the collector is in …
In the realm of Kalios the celestial Shutter falters, and the once-perfect patterns fracture. The broken patterns are not failures, they are changing, reshaping into new forms and colours. A grid of …
Nostalgia is a tribute to a first meeting with creative coding in the late 90s. It is also a computer melter: some pieces take hours to render.
Catho pushes colour through set boundaries until it starts to behave like a CRT screen: worn edges, scan lines, an old television built in SVG. No framework.
Tove is generative work prerendered for Foundation: 112 pieces, all related, all different, dropped as a fixed collection.
Una explores the fundamental dimensions of colour, shape, and texture with a hand-drawn feel, simplicity in both composition and hue. Made in Go, without a framework.
Meya sets tall vertical brush strokes over an angled gradient, deliberate lines against shifting colour. It is the debut of Carbon, a Dart library written from scratch to take over from p5.js: canvas …
Asta takes its name from the Old Norse Astridr, ‘as’ the divine and ‘fridr’ the beautiful. Standalone, simple blocks layer into something more complex, and the long format …
A pile that twists as it climbs. Slabs and shards of paint stacked around a spine and raked into orbits, the value doing the work the colour will not. All generative, all SVG.
Stacked fields of colour on a coloured ground. Squares of colour take the whole sheet, touching, then the ground is painted back over their sides and the square’s own paint goes on top of that, …
