Approach to the Green Line, generative plate from seed 327285238Streamlines 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.

Approach to the Green Line

There was no first attempt, so there is no better one.

Late the Ninth Hour

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

Second a Dry Cistern

The stopping point was arithmetic, not judgement.
