Reading of the Ninth Hour, generative plate from seed 2240899879Nine 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 arrived complete, which is not the same as arriving resolved.

Evidence of the Venetian Wall, generative plate from seed 4048645453Three 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 4048645453 in the Carob palette. © 2026 artcyp.com
