Approach to Carob, generative plate from seed 139394931Three 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 139394931 in the Troodos Pine palette. © 2026 artcyp.com

The stopping point was arithmetic, not judgement. Looking longer will not change it, though it may change you.

Same palette, same system

Reading of the Ninth Hour, generative plate from seed 34708444Nine 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.
