Second a Held Breath, generative plate from seed 1080669049Three 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 1080669049 in the Buffer Grey palette. © 2026 artcyp.com

The density is a count. The balance is an accident of the count.

Where it seems to hesitate, that is the rule doing what it always does.

Crossing at Six Terraces, generative plate from seed 1231931421Nine 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.
