Approach to the Ninth Hour, generative plate from seed 2186754038Forty-six bands stacked from the top down, each one a closed shape lying between two sine curves of differing amplitude, frequency and phase. The bands overlap, because each advances the cursor by only 62% of its own height. About one band in six is filled in an accent at higher opacity than the rest; the stack stops early if it runs past the bottom edge.

Approach to the Ninth Hour

The rule ran once and stopped where it was told to stop. It is indifferent, and the indifference is not a pose.

After the Venetian Wall, generative plate from seed 1791455184Three 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 1791455184 in the Akamas Thyme palette. © 2026 artcyp.com

Provisional a Dropped Frame, generative plate from seed 3795582743Nine 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.
