Study for a Dry Cistern, generative plate from seed 1389639072Streamlines through a fixed vector field. Each of 220 lines starts at a random point and takes 110 steps of five units, turning at every step by the sum of three sinusoids of its current position. A line stops early if it leaves the plate. Roughly one line in seven is drawn in an accent rather than the ink colour, and each is given its own width and opacity. This plate is seed 1389639072 in the Salt Lake palette. © 2026 artcyp.com
