Second a Held Breath, generative plate from seed 645172065Streamlines through a fixed vector field. Each of 220 lines starts at a random point and takes 110 steps of five units, turning at every step by the sum of three sinusoids of its current position. A line stops early if it leaves the plate. Roughly one line in seven is drawn in an accent rather than the ink colour, and each is given its own width and opacity. This plate is seed 645172065 in the Troodos Pine palette. © 2026 artcyp.com

It was not made for you, or for anyone, or on purpose.

Survey of a Dry Cistern, generative plate from seed 3693340957Three grids of parallel lines drawn over one another and rotated about the centre: one at zero, one at a small angle between 1.2 and 7.2 degrees, and a third at a negative fraction of that angle in an accent colour. The interference figure is never drawn. It is what your eye does with three grids that do not quite agree. This plate is seed 3693340957 in the Troodos Pine palette. © 2026 artcyp.com

This is the only version. There were never any others.

Evidence of the Ledra Line, generative plate from seed 327875265Nine centres, each emitting 34 closed rings whose radius grows as the 0.7 power of the ring index, so the spacing tightens as they widen. Each ring is a thirty-segment polygon pushed off true by a sinusoid whose amplitude grows with the index, and both stroke weight and opacity fall away as the rings get larger.

It could have been drawn on paper in 1968 by somebody very patient.
