ARTCYP Art in Cyprus, and a machine that draws Ελληνικά
Reading of Copper Spoil, generative plate from seed 2593088267Three 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 2593088267 in the Troodos Pine palette. © 2026 artcyp.com
