Approach to a Dropped Frame, generative plate from seed 2753585075Three 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 2753585075 in the Kypros Copper palette. © 2026 artcyp.com

It could have been drawn on paper in 1968 by somebody very patient. Any feeling here is yours, on loan to something that cannot hold it.

Same palette, same system

Evidence of the Slow Channel, generative plate from seed 653408062Forty-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.

The density is a count. The balance is an accident of the count.

The rule does not know it has finished.

Survey of a Dropped Frame, generative plate from seed 542097608Nine 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.

Every line had a reason, and none of the reasons was taste.
