Crossing at the Slow Channel, generative plate from seed 2935577303Streamlines 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 2935577303 in the Kypros Copper palette. © 2026 artcyp.com

Crossing at the Slow Channel

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

Streamlines 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 2935577303 in the Kypros Copper palette.

Same palette, same system

Model of Akamas, generative plate from seed 847427982Nine 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.

Model of Akamas

Nothing was rejected on the way here, because nothing was considered.

Study for the Green Line, generative plate from seed 179764018Three 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 179764018 in the Kypros Copper palette. © 2026 artcyp.com

Study for the Green Line

The order of the decisions is fixed. Only the looking is loose.

Evidence of Rain on Limestone

There was no first attempt, so there is no better one.
